Hello Dan Thank you very much for your comprehensive reply and sending the papers. The papes are very interesting works. I will definitely go with the order that you mentioned for using different methods. I just have a couple of follow up question.
What do you mean by " we don't have FEA model for terrain" ? what is the main limitation of FEADeformableterrain class ? And is there any paper you guys published for the mud modeling using SCM that I can have a look?
