UDSM Interface stiffness from Eoed
Hi all, In the manual it is mentioned that, when using a UDSM, the interface stiffness must be specified by the user in the form of a power law with Eoedref along with UD-pref and UD-Power. How does plaxis utilize this information? Does it use it to assign…
UDSM for Interfaces
Dear Plaxis/Bentley community,
we are working on soil-geogrid interaction and want to apply user-defined properties to the interface via a UDSM. The overall goal is to update the shear stiffness of the interface elements in each calculation step depending…
Tensile cutoff in UDSM
I am attempting to model a joint between two tunnel sections.
The joint's compressive behaviour can be approximated as a tri-linear elastic. I have created (and tested) a UDSM with tri-linear properties and that seems to works.
However, because the…
