Increase of stiffness in the Mohr-Coulomb Material Model

Question

Hi all, 
 
 I am running into trouble with the increase of stiffness in the Mohr-Coulomb Material Model. 
 The increase in stiffness in the Model is linear, while my stiffness is parabolic. Is there a way to adapt a parabolic change into the Mohr-Coulomb Model or is there a Material Model where the stiffness can change in parabolically over the depth? 
 Thank you for your time 
 Jesco

Hi Jesco, 
 be aware this is general Developers and Programming Forum. I recommend to follow the best practices and to specify what product and version do you use. In your question there is no information about that. It seems your question is not about writing code, but it probably belongs to some product forum.
