Dear RG members,

I am facing difficulty to simulate triaxial test of sand in PFC 5.0 using the material modeling package provided by ITASCA. I want to observe the failure surface/bulging after the loading stage. In the material modeling package, the side walls are rigid and don't change with loading, they stand straight all the time. That's why it's not possible to see the failure surface/bulging. It would be a great help to get your opinion. As I am not good at coding, is there any simple way to do that?

Is there any PFC code available for sand/granular soil modeling?

Best,

Wasif
