Hello everyone, 

I am interested in modelling silo discharge of sand by using FEM. Should I use hyper elasticity based constitutive model or hypo elasticity based ? I think,  It is a valid assumption that elastic deformations during discharge are infinitesimal , therefore, hypo elasticity based constitutive model can be used. What is your opinion in this context ?
