Inconsistent intermediate stress&displacement results.

Hello;

I am Emir. I have come across a problem in optistruct that is I believe incremenatal results were inconsistent. My model is a non-linear problem which includes freeze and friction contact as well as non-linear material. LGDISP and CNTSTB cards are active in the model. After I ran the analysis with 300N and 150 N (only load magnitude changed all the other parameters are the same). The results are listed in the rable below. Do you think I am missing something? According to the results I can not rely on intermediate results. Do I have to run new analysis for each iteration ? Thanks in advance. Have a great day.

 

Best Regards
