Highlight the Copper NL and Stainless Steel NL materials to confirm that the plasticity models have been defined with Bilinear Isotropic laws as show below.

The convergence now takes over 20 iterations, up from just 9 (WS4A) when all materials were considered linear elastic.
WS5B-12
Notice the dramatic difference in pressure distribution at the seal face as well as the peak value when compared with same results published in workshop 4A
WS5B-13
Post process the preload at the frictionless contact resulting from the interference fit as before. Compare the preload with workshop 4A.
Note, the change in preload is not nearly as dramatic as that of the contact pressure Why? pressure.

Post process equivalent stress and compare to results published at end of workshop 4A.
