Thanks for your kind help,

This book helps me more than other things, but I don't know exactly how to define the presence of water in a lower layer and define dry layer in surface layer?

In addition, how to input the weight of water and soil in modeling (property, initial condition, load [gravity, body force or..] Or etc.)?

Dear sohrab

please help me i have same qestion for modelling water table in soi in abaqus.

thanks in advance

Dear Muni,

it is too difficult to model the underground water level in soil media in dynamic condition. for this problem, i modeled the water level in PLAXIS.

its easy to draw water table in plaxis software.

but in static condition it is not difficult to define water table.

Dear Sohrab,

Thanks for the response. i do not have access to plaxis. i am working with abaqus. atleast can you help me how to define water table for static condition in abaqus.

Thanks in advance
