PLAXIS 3D MESHING ERROR

Hi,

I have tried meshing a model in PLAXIS 3D and the error is as follows

Meshing failed with the following error:
Fatal: Could not generate mesh.

I have tried refining the mesh at the specified surfaces and volumes. I have also tried refining the coarseness of the mesh and still the error remains same.

Kindly suggest any other alternate ways or any solution.

How do I extract active and passive pressures on a retaining wall in Plaxis 2D

I have a retaining wall with different ground levels on both sides.

How do I extract the active and passive pressures acting on the retaining wall from PLAXIS 2D Output.

Is there any way to generate net pressure diagram directly.

Thanks,
