Question about PressureDependMultiYield Material

Post by lindaatik »

Hi,

I am using the PressureDependMultiYield Material to model DRY medium dense sand. In the User Manual, rho is defined as saturated soil mass density.
My question is: do I need to input rho saturated even if my model is dry or for the case of dry sand I should input dry soil mass density for rho?

Thank you,
Linda.

Hi Linda,
I believe it should be dry density for the case of dry sand.
