Hi ,
I try to modeling SOIL in 3D form.
I could not find any researches about this topic.
is it possible to help me?
thanks

you can also try to explore OpenSeesPL as a good start. Although it is primarily for soil-pile interaction problems, but it uses 3D model (solids) for the soil elements.

you can study the contents of the generated tcl input file (nodes, elements, materials, constraints and boundaries, analysis, etc..) and modify it to suit your problem and needs.

I want to use solids elements to simulate the stone arc bridge ,which NDmaterials should I use ?and another question ,what tne RMC stands for in the source codes ?is it 3 parameters William-warken ? thanks !

There is a company that specializes in 3-D mapping of soil and rock called Maptek. That may be a place to start looking.
