Hi all,
I have been trying to code the PM4SAND model for several months, but I faced some problems. I was wondering if there is anyone who worked with this model can help me figure out my problem?
Best,

Dear Mohammad,
Did you tried to contact the developer of the model? (kziotopoulou at ucdavis.edu)
and https://pm4sand.engr.ucdavis.edu
It would be helpful to be more detailed, what does not work, or were you are struggeling?
Kind regards,
Hans Henning
Dear Hans Henning,
Thank you for your response and sorry for my late reply. Yes, I did contact developers, but I have found them busy to take a look at my implementation.
I have been trying to make my implementation work for an undrained cyclic DSS response with a simple sinusoidal loading. It would better to say, I have been trying to match my simulation results with those shown in Figure 2.7 of the Version3.1 of the PM4SAND report (with DR=35%, σ’vo= 100 kPa, K0= 0.5, α=0).
My problem is that only the first 2 cycles works and the other cycles are not matching those of the report.
I was wondering if I have the chance to contact you and discuss it more in detail?
With best,
Mohammad
Dear Mohammad,
I’m not an expert for PM4Sand but I can try to help you. HHS at eng dot au dot dk is my email.
Best regards,
Hans Henning
