Hello,
I have modeled a problem involving a loaded plate resting on geosynthetic-reinforced soil. Would you be able to help me by taking a look at the script? I would greatly appreciate any suggestions or comments you may have regarding the model. The input data were taken from a paper that I am trying to reproduce.

Hi,

Your script runs fine and I didn't encounter any issues. Unfortunately, I don't have a specific recommendation or preference for modeling geosynthetics. I would suggest starting with a simple benchmark problem, calibrating your model against it, and then gradually increasing the complexity. It may also be helpful to review example problems and modeling approaches provided in the manuals of other software packages.
