Hi all,

I have a plate with dimensions: X=30 feet, Y=0.25mm, Z=100 feet. Since along Z direction, the model can be considered as no strain, I tried to use 2D plane strain (X=30 feet, Y=0.25mm). On the top surface, there is pressure. However, no matter how small the pressure is, how fine the mesh is, I could not get a convergent solution.

I attach the model, please help take a look.
