I am currently learning how to develop a numerical model for a retaining wall. If you have any example models or references, I would greatly appreciate them.
In one of the sample models I found, several lines appear during the post-processing stage. Why are these lines generated, and what do they represent?

Re: retaining wall
In that example the contact elements use the Lagrange Multiplier approach.In one of the sample models I found, several lines appear during the post-processing stage. Why are these lines generated, and what do they represent?
To store the Lagrangian DOF they create new fictitious nodes (the ones you see there)
