Hi,
I am trying to model an elastic isotropic soil and I am wondering about the appropriate material to be used.
for the ElasticIsotropic material:
nDMaterial ElasticIsotropic $matTag $E $v <$rho>
is the soil shear modulus implicitly defined in terms of E and v?

Re: modeling of an elastic isotropic soil
Yes, the material will compute shear modules G=E/(2(1+v))
