Question:

Unable to run the model. Getting the error message of 'Topography Inversion exists' as attached. Please provide the support to solve this issue

Answer:

Hello,
Greetings!

On checking the model it was found that LEM was desired type of analysis.(Please note that for LEM meshing is not required).

Please note in LEM only direction of failure can be defined  for one analysis case. This can be defined while generating the analysis case


Topography inversion error comes when any circle leads to  reverse failure. As in your case the failure is from right to left but for the block highlighted its opposite and hence the error.


To rectify the issue you need modify it as shown


One can define the pressure load for rest of the section if needed. For such analysis one can consider for strength reduction method.
