Hi everyone, I wanted to obtain static p-y curves for a model generated with a triple batter pile and a mass on top to consider the superstructure. I started with a vertical load test, however, the plot of axial load vs settlement is far from the reality. Any assistance to resolve the error is appreciated.

Without datafile, it is hard for us to help.
