We did this by adjusting the local element size at the appropriate model vertices to 0.1m.

The remaining vertices were left at the automatic mesh size. - A 10kPa surface load as applied behind the retaining wall, extending to the back of the stem. Over the width of the L wall base and above the retaining wall, the load was linearly reduced in magnitude from 10kPa to 0kPa. Groundwater is modelled at the underside of the wall.
