Hi,
I am a masterstudent in Construction engineering and currently working on my thesis.
I am trying to make a Plaxis 2D (2010) model for a soilmix-element with a load-bearing capacity.During the calculation I get the following comment: 'Load advancement procedure fails. [103]'
Is there anyone who can help me with solving this issue?
Thanks!
Dear Sander,
This error typically appears when the program detects numerical problems. For this case, you need to carefully inspect the input data provided, e.g. material parameters, boundary conditions, etc. and check the following Output plots:
A combination of these plots will usually give insight into what is happening. Then, you may need to perform any adjustments in your model to prevent numerical issues.
Please note that we no longer PLAXIS 2D 2010 as we have released many new versions ever since. Consider upgrading to our latest versions to take advantage of all our new features and improvements we have made all those years.
Mr. Papavasileiou. My apologies for my opinion, but I think your answer is a bit vague. I am currently having the same issue with a simulation of an MSE wall and at the graphs, I do not see any anomalies. As a matter of fact, I am getting a soil collapse and when I see the failure points there are none.
Kind regards
Abraham Alvarez
Dear Abraham,
Based on the description of the issue, I provided the recommended workflow we also follow at support. With limited information, it is difficult to give a more precise answer.
In your case, I would recommend sending your question to our support team. Then, one of our support engineers can help you in detail: https://apps.bentley.com/srmanager/ProductSupport
As the error indicates you need to speak to your local administrator (usually IT team) to help you with that issue. To find your Account Administrator you can select "How are you CONNECTED" on the Welcome Banner in the CONNECT Center.

About the soil body collapse, if you believe that the failure you see is local and can be ignored you may choose to isolate this area and artificially provide some additional stiffness/strength to prevent it from failing.Regarding the tension, we see typically materials with some strength but zero tensile strength. It could help to introduce a small value for tensile strength (1-5kPa depending on what you have) to see if that helps overcome the problem.
