The fewer elements that are used to simulate a pillar and the larger the elements, the less marked this effect becomes. In practice, for most shallow bord and pillar coal mining situations, it has been found that at an element size of 3 m, the peak stress should be increased by 3.5%, while it should be increased by 18% if 1 m elements are used.
