Hi Usnish,

Thanks for your reply. 

I looked at the paper that you proposed, but I couldn't find an explanation why I should use the Load_Body. I understand the Initial_Stress_Depth, but not the load_Body. 

Another question, if I want to have zero initial effective stresses, how can I achieve that since the water pressures due to gravity are always calculated in LSDYNA?

Finally, I cannot get the output of the pore water pressures. I read the manual, but I cannot find the right way to get this output. Could you help me also with this?

Thank you very much.
