Porous Elasticity

The Porous Elasticity material model is contained in the Geomechanical Toolbox data item. This property supports Static Structural and Transient Structural analyses. Porous Elasticity is automatically added when the Cam Clay model is added. For additional information, see Porous Elasticity in the Material Reference.

Porous Elasticity includes the following physical properties:

  • Swell Index

  • Elastic Limit of Tensile Strength

  • Poisson's Ratio

  • Initial Void Ratio
