Plaxis 3D bending moment

Question

Im modelling single pile on 3D plaxis. I use the volume elements. My single pile head is 0,2 m above soil surface with the lateral loads on X direction. But when it comes to bending moments, its like fractured. Can anyone explain to me? What happened and how it should be model?

Hello Muhammad, 
 Generally speaking, forces extracted from &ldquo;Structural forces in volume piles&rdquo; feature strongly depends on the mesh size. So, you may refine it more and check the outputs again.
