    If you have contact, then it is not a linear subcase and you have to define some parameters for the non linearity in your solver.

    Create a load colector with the card: NLPARM, then:
    To do this you go into analysis -> loadstep -> and check NLPARAM and there you choose the NLPARAM Card you created.
