Deformation Shape doesnt show up

Hi everyone,

well, im glad i found this forum dedicated to abaqus users. i'm just a rookie, got in touch with abaqus in less than a month for my thesis. hope you can help in my first big struggle.

im modeling a nut and a bolt thread in 2d, they should move towards eachother and upon contact they should crash past eachother. i went through all the modules quite ok. i run the job, it is successful. in the visualization window, when i try to see the deformation of the threads the following message is displayed:

"Deformation and/or analytical surface extent is too large as compared with the model."

 help...
