May 10, 2022 at 14:45 comment added hansophyx Do you know how can I introduce an imperfection in a shell element?
May 10, 2022 at 14:29 comment added meshWorker Adding a small imperfection into the geometry can sometimes stabilize a model. When you know where the model is unstable you could emphasize for example a production tolerance. This way the solver "knows" in which direction to look.
May 10, 2022 at 13:58 comment added hansophyx Thank you for those suggestions! I tried all of the above and turning off all of those nonlinearities still does not causes convergence. Relaxing BCs helps to avoid plasticity indeed, but the solution still does not converge. The only measure is increasing sheet thickness which reduces temperature and helps with mechanical stability. I suspect a stability issue to be the problem so I am now trying to use the arc length method to obtain convergence.
