We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Ansys Learning Forum Forums Discuss Simulation LS Dyna Problem with controle pore fluid, pore pressures in soils Reply To: Problem with controle pore fluid, pore pressures in soils

The INITIAL_STRESS_DEPTH sets the initial stress due to gravity, LOAD_BODY maintains that stress throughout the simulation

A zero initial effective stress is inconsistent with hydrostatic pore pressures

The pore pressures are available as a history variables in d3plot and elout - see the section on "Output" in the Remarks under CONTROL_PORE_FLUID

Unfortunately, I am not able to provide more detailed help in this forum, hopefully other community members can help
