Products: Abaqus/Standard Abaqus/CAE
Benefits: The pore pressure element library in Abaqus/Standard now includes both linear tetrahedral (C3D4P) and linear wedge (C3D6P) elements. These elements add modeling flexibility for coupled pore pressure-displacement analyses.
Description: Pore pressure elements are provided in Abaqus/Standard for modeling fully or partially saturated fluid flow through a deforming porous medium. These two new elements support all of the loadings, material behaviors, and contact interactions supported by existing pore pressure elements.
