    I don't have Nastran here, but if you run the exact .bdf in OptiStruct, it will give you clear error messages:

    It would be helpful to use OptiStruct instead.

     
     *** INFORMATION # 4916
     Hash-table based assembly turned on for LGDISP analysis with RBE2.
      
     *** ERROR # 3002 ***
     The first point (X1,Y1) specified on the TABLES1 bulk data entry ID=1
     is not located at the origin of the stress-strain curve.

    As you're using TYPSTRAIN default value, which expects a full total stress x strain curve, the solver is erroring out.

    You have provided only the plastic portion of the curve, meaning you should have used TYPESTRN = 1

    Hi @Adriano A. Koga,

    I tried to do this in OptiStruct already but now I want to try with Nastran solver.

    Thanks
