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.
