Abaqus Soil Plane Stress Plane Strain Dynamic

Modeling a soil in abaqus (plane stress and plane strain)

Submitted by belhajj on

hello, I am new to abaqus.

I am modeling a soil under seismic exitation with abaqus. the soil is a 2D rectangular elastic model.

As i was creating the mesh, i didnt pay attention and abaqus by deffault took plane stress. Is it a big problem that i work with plane stress or i should restart the calculation with plane strain ?

Thanks,

belhajj.
