Pin Bearing Test (Composites) Radioss Solver

User: "ShreyaRiadeepya"

Hi
I am trying to do a very simple pin loaded test according to the ASTM standards in composites using Radioss.

I have modelled my composite with MATLAW25 and PCOMPP property. For the pin, i use MATLAW1 and PSHELL property. To establish contact between the two i use INTER 7. I use IMPVEL to move the pin at 200 mm/min speed.

Ideally the bottom edge and the top edge of the composite must be clamped so that the pin moves through the composite and you have bearing failure.

But no matter what i do, what settings i change in the contact or my property, i face error 207.

I know from experiments that the test lasts about 5 seconds, but my solver basically fails after just 0.3 s. I dont know what is wrong. I have attached my files, any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
