Interaction between soil and pile

[mline41]

Hi there!

I am new to STKO and trying to add contact elements between my soil and pile to simulate a soil-pile interaction.

I have watched all the webinars on contact elements, and could see any that were relevant to my case. This is because I am modelling my pile as a 3D hollow cylinder, and not as a beam!

I will attach my file. Please let me know if i need to adjust my mesh, or if the mesh is okay and how I can do contact elements.

Thank you very much in advance.
