SHEAR TEST on a composite sandwich panel

Hi,

I'm trying to build a model in order to simulate a shear test on a composite panel with honeycomb core. I've been trying with non-linear static load-step but I get a non-convergent results and the error you can read in the .out file attached here. One possible solution I've tried, could be tuning the NCUT parameter in the NLADAPT collector, but this couldn't solve the problem and I get the same error. 

I'm also not sure about the type of analysis I've chosen and how I have modeled the physics of the problem, do you think a non-linear transient or explicit simulation could be more suitable for this kind of problem? 

I attach here my model and the .out file of the run, I'll really appreciate your help!

Thank you.
