WaterConditions

Water conditions of a soil.
Property Long name Unit Description
Name Name - Name of the water conditions.
Comments Comments - Comments on the water conditions.
Conditions Conditions -
Global level
The pore pressure distribution is hydrostatic and it is automatically calculated from the global water level.
Custom level
The pore pressure distribution is hydrostatic and it is automatically calculated from a custom water level.
Head
The pore pressure distribution is hydrostatic and defined by giving the zref.
User-defined
The pore pressure distribution is defined manually by giving the zref, pref and pinc.
Interpolate
The pore pressure distribution is linearly interpolated from the pore pressures of the adjacent soil layers.
Dry
The pore pressure in the soil layer is equal to zero.
RefPos yref Length y-coordinate where the pore pressure is equal to zero.
Pref pref Force/Length2 Reference pressure.
Pinc pinc Force/Length2/Length Pressure increment.
Level Level - Name of the water level from which the pore pressure distribution is calculated.
