Hi, during the triaxial test I should maintain the same lateral stress value during the analysis, while the axial stress is increasing. The fact is that from my simulation actually I see from the results that the lateral stress is not kept constant, but it is increasing. How can I fix it? Am I wrong somewhere?
Thanks a lot. Nejib, I can confirm that with the boolean autoCompressionActivation at the false value you stop the simulation right after the isotropic compression phase.
