Hello everyone,
I am having an issue running what should be a simple simulation to my part. The results that I am getting are completely nonsense and when I probe for max/min they are both something like -1.#io+000 for all values (displacement, von missus)
This is the first part that I have run a simulation on which is made up of surfaces instead of bodies but I do not think that overly matters though in general I have limited exposure to surfaces. I have assigned all the surfaces thicknesses and material properties within the surface manager and believe my fixtures and external loads are correct.
If anyone has some helpful tips or insight into what is causing this I would really appreciate the assistance.

A bunch of the shell edges aren't bonded correctly. The excessive displacements are stopping the nonlinear solver.
Turn off the 'large displacement' option and run the study. Enable the 'Deformed Result' option and you can see massive deformations on non-attached parts.
You can use the contact visualization plot to help verify bonded edges.
