Load advancement procedure fails. [Error code: 103], Plaxis 2D

Question

Hi all, Rushan Gizzatullin Dennis Waterman Stefanos Papavasileiou 
 
 I have watched webinar regarding errors and i'm still find difficulty to find the reasons for the Load advancement procedure fails. [Error code: 103] (eventhough looking incremental, strain and plastic points plots). You all have many year experiences in this field and i need your advices (tips and tricks) to find how to identify the errors easily (with example is more appreciable)? 
 Hope i will receive good knowledge from you all. 
 
 Thanks.

Dear Nitha, 
 In order to find out what the mechanism for failure is, and so possibly determining the cause, these Output plots should be inspected: 
 
 deformed mesh 
 total displacements (shaded plot) 
 incremental displacement (shaded plot and/or arrows) 
 total deviatoric strain (shaded plot) 
 incremental deviatoric strains (shaded plot) 
 plastic points 
 when applicable: excess pore pressures (pexcess) 
 
 A combination of these plots will usually give insight into what is happening.
