Non-convergence of non-linear spring support

[sukusPNXGV]

Hi there,

I have a simple model with a horizontal beam expanding under horizontal point load and thermal load. I am trying to resist the expansion using non-linear spring to resist expansion after a gap. Similar to gap support but only in one direction. I have uploaded the file below. It shows convergence error.

I need this non-linear spring support to work for a project. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi @sukusPNXGV!

I did this and the model converged.

Best regards,
