Geostatic procedure for partially saturated soil

Submitted by Valery.Anpilov on

Dear collegues,

I do geostatic procedure for partially saturated soil.

ABAQUS is used.

 

The model of soil - Cam-Clay. 

Initial stresses in the soil are given. 

The initial pore pressure as well set. 

Material data is fully specified. 

Nevertheless - the program displays an error message:

The sum of initial pressue and elastic tensile strength for the porous elastic material in element 1 instance full-1 must be positive.

May be somybody knows the reason of the message?
