6dof with pore pressure

Post by armkam »

Hi,

I want to model a 3D retaining wall while having pore pressure.
Since there is retaining wall in addition to soil, all 6dofs are needed.
Considering the fact that modelling pore pressure requires an additional dof, can this model be built?
Any recommendations and guides are truly appreciated.

you need to use multiple model commands to create 2 models. At the duplicate nodes use the equalDOF command to tie the nodes together.
