I suggest you change the value of TFAIL in your MAT054 parameter list to a negative value to prevent element deletion. Then assess why your element fails at the initial time step, even with the loading removed. --len

Dear Mojtaba,
See if these are of some help:
Simple one element bending comparison study of *MAT_002, *MAT_022, *MAT_054, *MAT_055, *MAT_058, and *MAT_059.

Research was completed to characterize the root behavior of the LS-DYNA *MAT_054 composite orthotropic material model. This primarily involved investigating the constitutive relations, ply failure (damage onset), ply deletion, damage factors, and element deletion:
Osborne, M., "Single-Element Characterization of the LS-DYNA MAT54 Material Model", Master's Thesis, Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington, 2012.
The basic behavior of a progressive failure model that simulates laminated composite materials was investigated. To evaluate the fundamental elastic, failure initiation, and post-failure behaviors of *MAT_054, as well as the suitability of *MAT_054 to model fabric composite material systems, a series of single-element simulations was performed. The simulation used a carbon fiber/epoxy material system with various lay-ups, including UD tape and plain-woven fabric variants:

Hughes Technical Center, Atlantic City International Airport, New Jersey, February, 2015.
