Two confusions in the Abaqus geotechnical application.

Hi,
I've been using Abaqus for a half of year, and got two confusions during my simulation.
1. When modelling pore fluid response, the module of Abaqus/Standard Soils(transient) is applied, but my model also includes a time-dependent interaction between rubber and soil, specifically the load is applied on the rubber incrementally as a function of time, so I assigned an amplitude for this load. However, at some points, I suspected if this is a correct fully coupled model coz the load I monitored did not vary as the amplitude I defined.
2. Are there any ways to remove the failed elements during computation, even for the interacting parts?

Thanks to whoever help me out of those issues!
