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
