Hi
I have a query about using a soft contact for the interaction betweem the seabed and the pipe.
*SURFACE BEHAVIOR, PRESSURE-OVERCLOSURE=LINEAR
<Stiff_Linear>

Does this mean the pipe has a finite degree of penetration into the seabed surface and the stiffness of which increases linearly as the surface penetration increased...


thank you
melody
