hello

my name is mohamad. I am phd student in mechanical engineering. I want to use of total lagrangian formulation for analysis of a cantilever. my difficulty is on implementation of newton raphson method and incrementing load. my code does not converge. can you help me. if there is a simple code I was wondering if someone aware me.

thanks in advance.
