Dear colleagues, I am trying to simulate a strip foundation on a cohesionless soil with a friction angle of 30 degrees. However, I obtain convergence problems. I am using a geostatic step.
The error in the simulation states:
Time increment required is less than the minimum specified
Too many attempts made for this increment
I am new modelling soils in Abaqus, therefore, I'm not sure if I'm ignoring some basic concepts or if there is something I missed when inputting the soil parameters.
Thanks in advance
