Greetings,
I need to model slope with unhorizontal soil layers.
We have recently purchased Plaxis 2d Connect and we always have the same problem. The problem is that initital phase (gravity loading) stops already after few seconds. The message is that soil body collapses (error 101) even after increase of parameters. We have checked model fixities and everything is ok.
In the output program soil collapses unlogically in the upper right corner of the model.
We used older Plaxis versions and we never had such strange and unrealistic failures after only 3 seconds of initial phase calculation.Please help, the image of soil colapse is attached. Why is this happening? Oldeversions we had never had such issues.
Thank you very much for the tips.
Sometimes it's also worthwhile to check the unit weight of soils, especially in offshore modelling cases where you may wrongly enter submerged unit weight instead of saturated unit weight.
May I ask what is the difference between submerged unit weight and saturated unit weight?
