NELEMNumber of elements
ISPSMAS= 0 → nothing
= 1 → specific weight taken into account if and only if NTANA < 0
INSIG= 0 → No initial stress
= 1 or 2 → Initial stresses
INBIO= 0 → No Biot coefficient
= 1 → Isotropic Biot coefficient
= 2 → Anisotropic Biot coefficient
Only for orthotropic mechanical law ORTHOPLA
Specific mass - Only if ISPMAS = 1 (1G10.0)
SPEMA5Specific mass
Initial stresses - Only if INSIG > 0 (4G10.0)
If INSIG=1: $\sigma_z=\sigma_{z0}+zd\sigma_{z}$
If INSIG=2: $\sigma_z=min(\sigma_{z0}+zd\sigma_z,0)$
SIGZ0 $\sigma_{y0}$ effective stress $\sigma_y$ at the axes origin
DSIGZEffective stress gradient along Y axis
AK0X$k_0$ ratio $\sigma_x/\sigma_z$
AK0Y$k_0$ ratio $\sigma_y/\sigma_z$ (if AK0Y=0, AK0Y=AK0X)
In the calculation of SIGZ0 and DSIGZ, the apparent density $\rho_a'$ must be taken into consideration: \[\rho_a'=\left[(1-n)\rho_s+n S_w\rho_w\right]-\rho_w\] With:
$\rho_s$ the solid density (this corresponds to the density of a fictive sample where porosity would be equal to zero)
$\rho_w$ the density of the fluid
$n$ the porosity defined in the flow law related to this element
$S_w$ the fluid saturation, ∈ [0,1]
Biot coefficient - Only if INBIO = 1 (1G10.0)
CBIOTBiot coefficient
