All ALE simulation should use a TSSFAC, see Control_Timestep, of 0.6 or less.

Dear Ahmet.,
Len Schwer previously shared the following suggestions:
-----------------------
Reducing the time step, via TSSFAC, or a *Define_Curve with prescribed time
step size, may help.
Before ever advection cycle, a Lagrange step is performed. If the time step is too
large, an element may invert (negative volume) and cause the error you received.
-----------------------
The message “negative volume in advection redo cycle” usually indicates the time
step needs to be reduced. Perhaps related to your use of mass scaling?
MM-ALE requires a smaller stable time step than that used for standard FEM solids,
so it is recommend to use TSSFAC=0.67 and NOT an increased time step via mass scaling
