About the 3D model from the New Element Presentation - ASDAbsorbingBoundary

Yes, it is actually elastic

Actually it is not elastic, there are contact elements which are non-linear. So it make sense, that's why I was asking this:

Anyway, it typically happens when the model is highly non-linear, so the solver needs to do a lot of PIVOTING in the factorization of the system, but our example about the 3D model should be elastic... what model are you referring to?

Oh, I see!

I thought you were asking about the material nonlinearity for the soil and structure.

Thank you very much for your help!
