How can I resolve my issue regarding Message Error ID 259?

I am making a tensile test where one end is fixed and the other end is experiencing a pulling load. I will provide a screenshot showing off my parameters. When running an analysis, the solver immediately detects a problem. It displays Message ID: 259 saying, "Element switch to smaller strain option". When looking into the output file, one error that stands out is that my time step is zero. I'm new to radioss so I'm not sure how I can fix that.

    Hi,

    There are multiple reason you may have these warnings and error in the end. I would recommand you to have a look at the attached model that is very similar to what you want to do. 

    Could you please have a look and tell me if it is ok for you?

    Thanks,

    Mathis.
