Hi guys,

I am tring to model a thin strip of a material(E= 2*e6 MPA and poisson's ratio=0.5) into mobius strip. I should do this by applying Boundary conditions(rotation) or loads. When I tried this simulation, it kept getting aborted when I gave rotation(with respect to the axis parallel to the length) more than 3 radians. I tried refining the mesh but it di not help. Can any one suggest me how to go forward with this simulation or suggest me any other way of achieving this.

 note: i used quad shell elements
