I generated a voronoi model in UDEC 6 and made the blocks rigid. When I try to solve it, the block just collapse downwards as shown in picture. I have already applied zero velocity on the lower boundaries. I have also sent the code. Can anyone tell me how I stop this phenomenon. Thank you.

@jscic Thanks a lot. And I had some other questions regarding this model. This time I use the same slope model but using Mohr-coulomb deformable blocks. There is sometimes the overlapping errors (when stiffness are low or near to the young’s modulus), so I increase the stiffness as the software says, but the more I increase the stiffness, the model becomes more stronger and reduces the block deformations I want to see. What I want to see is like the voronoi blocks slide off or roll off as rockfall or slide off the slope like this paper I send below (like toppling or sliding). Can you give me some suggestions on I can achieve this. Thank you.

I am trying to re-produce this code in UDEC 7, I made little changes but still does not work,

The entire command set has changed in UDEC 7. The commands you have listed are UDEC 6 commands (not UDEC 7 commands). There is an automatic command conversion tool in UDEC 7. Load the file into a text pane and press edit->command conversion.
this is the updates now but i still have a problem with this line (block zone generate edge 100.0 range region -25.6195 -47.4439 -25.6195 319.6272 533.2542 319.6272 533.2542 -47.4439)

The quote marks (‘ID1’ ) you are using for strings are not accepted by UDEC. For example use ‘ID1’ instead.
You need to add a seed command to the block cut voronoi command (I used seed 10010), Otherwise you will get a different model every time you run the data file. That makes it impossible to repeat or debug.
You need to reduce the edge length in the block zone gen edge command to 7.0.
You still have rigid blocks outside of the block zone gen range. You have not assigned properties to these blocks. The model will not cycle.
I see that the forum is changing the quote marks that are displayed in the listings. You need to use the single quote marks that are to the left of the enter key.
