In the 2D2010/2D2011 Advanced Mode, in a Consolidation TPP phase, activating a cluster and changing its water conditions in the same phase will result in unexpected pore pressures.
The reason for this is that when activating any cluster in a Consolidation TPP analysis, its bulk modulus of water is initially low and this will not allow for a lot of groundwater flow.

Tsis issue is now solved with the release of PLAXIS 2D AE.
For older versions, a workaround is available that should be done in two phases:
