I'd like to use STKO postprocessor for my model, but I keep getting the following error message: "MPCORecorder error: unknown arg with option none" when I use de mpco recorder command.

Re: Problem with quad meshing

It won't let me attach the model with the scd extension in this forum, so I uploaded it to google drive. Here's the link:

Re: Problem with quad meshing

Okay. So I attached the a sketch of the model I'm trying to build.

Those spikes at the top of the latest stages of the tailings dam are causing me a lot of trouble. Sadly, I can't get rid of them because they are close to the max deformation zones of the dam at the very top.

I added colors to ...

Hello,
I've been working with a staged model with a complex geometry (tailings dam). I've drawn all the stages as quadrilaterals, but when I try to quad mesh the geometry, I get some triangles in the model. How can I get rid of them?
I'm attaching a couple of photos of my model.

Also, I'd like to ...

Changing an element material after an analysis

Dear DTKO team,

I was wondering whether it is possible to change an element's material after an static analysis.
This is because I'm trying to model a staged earth dam construction with the PM4SAND constitutive model and the stress state will change at every stage and so my calibrated soil model ...
