PorePressure Command

The PorePressure command sets pore Pressure conditions to all nodes selected by the GridBC command that encloses it:

 PorePressure (style),(value),<(time)>

where (style) specifies the style of the applied pore pressure. Each pore pressure depends on two parameters specified by arguments (value) and (time). If either argument is not supplied, they are set to zero. The standard units pressure units for (value) and alt time units for (time) (but the units may change depending on the (style) setting).

Notes

  1. The PorePressure command can only be in GridBC blocks which are only allowed for MPM analyses.
