I am studying analysis of soil consolidation to fluid pressure in tissue. I would like to get a similar plot with the figure follows (the fıgure adopted from literature [1]).
I mean that how can I obtain max. fluid pressure in any tissue of my model as a function time. I believe that output variable named "POR" represent fluid pressure. The issue that if I select "Unique Nodal" as follows picture, I can pick POR variable. But, when I select centroid as position, I can not see POR variable to click. But however, It writes in the literature that max fluid pressure was obtained from the centroids of elements which were approximately at 1/4 depth from the articular surface. (please see relevant figure in below)
How is that possible?
By the way, I'm an user of ABAQUS.
