Hello,

I'm doing a coupled pore fluid diffusion stress analysis.
i try to model the displacements of a suction pile under verctical loads and the pore pressure diffusion around the pile.
It is an axisymetric model and i use CAX4P elements for the soil and structure (previously i used analytical rigid element for the pile but i met problem in my contact definitions)
With the new model (cAX4P elements, the calcul didn't run...

in Msg file :
***WARNING: TIME STEP TOO SMALL. PORE FLUID VOLUME FLUX NOT COMPUTED.

I don't understand because in my previous model, analysis completed succesfuly.

If you have an idea.....

If you have end=PERIOD in *SOILS then removing it may work.
 
Dear icsmg2

Thanks for your post, but I have a problem:
My work is devoted to displacement field of an anchor in soil during 25 years. Hence, you understand that the end=PERIOD option must be use.
