I need to use granular soil load on buried structures in SW simulation. Doues anyone have any experience in using the Drucker-Prager method?
Thank you,
Ludo.

Thank you Jared. So far for theory, I got so far. I probably should have been more clear. Under "experience" I meant have you been able to get the various constants for any soil material you were using?
Thank you,
Ludo.
collection has always been done the traditional way, internet + library search or experiment. generally for our consulting and one-on-one training, customers bring us that information to use and generally it is done using those methods.
Thank you Jared.

setup of the analysis will be the same as all other simulation problems
the only difference will be using the material property: http://help.solidworks.com/2013/English/SolidWorks/cworks/c_Plasticity_Drucker_Prager_Model.htm
this is well documented in the help, the nonlinear/static training and also in the solidworks KB
