Dear all,

I am modelling a storage tank founding on a ground treated with stone columns in PLAXIS 3D 2017. One quarter of the total tank is modelled as shown in the figure and stone columns are created as a volume element.

I am getting the error of "inaccurately snapped object" during meshing. And its taking quite a long time for running the meshing stage, sometimes I do encounter "meshing timed out" error also. I tried with all mesh sizes but no change in the error and duration of meshing. Please help me to resolve this issue.
