Convergence problem

[arash1358]

Hello All,

I am modeling a soil-pile interaction problem with Code_Bright and GiD13. I have used three materials (soil, joint, steel) to model the problem. I have applied pore-water pressure changes on the ground surface as a boundary condition and also lateral displacement at the top of the pile. I am getting liquid pressure distribution through the steel, which was assumed to have very low permeability (1e-30= intrinsic permeability). My run terminates after reaching the very large liquid pressure. Could you please give me some idea about this problem. I have attached the file.

Thank you,
Arash

Hi Arash,

Your model as it is right now has a mechanical problem. Either you confine the upper part of your model or set gravity. There might be some other issues too.
