hello guys
i'm trying to simulate a cubic frame with circular bars with 2 cm diameter and after that i want to raped this cubic frame with geotextile and fill it with granular material
i was hoping that this frame resist against soil collapse but it does not
could you how should i simulate this thing?
thank you in advance
