Hello Hediye,

When the analysis is incomplete, it is absolutely depending on the type of errors which are encountered in the analysis. I think if your soil medium is granular you should be careful about the value of cohesion. if you enter the value of cohesion less than the specific value your analysis does not converge. In addition, I emphasize you should change your element type in the Mesh Module and select plane strain due to the nature of soil medium.

I suggest to you, if it is possible for you please attach errors which you encountered at the end of your analysis to give an opportunity to the others to guide you in a better way.

Kind regards.

Good Luck.
