The Porous–Structure Boundary coupling (

) is used to couple a porous domain (Biot’s model) domain from the
Poroelastic Waves interface to a
Solid Mechanics,
Shell,
Layered Shell,
Membrane, or
Multibody Dynamics interface. At the solid-porous boundaries, continuity of the displacement field is applied.

Name.
The default Name (for the first multiphysics coupling feature in the model) is
psb1.
Select Coupling as either
Perfect bonding (the default) or
Imperfect bonding. The first option represent a scenario where the solid is glued or bonded to the porous material. The second option represents a case with coupling only in the normal direction; this can represent a case where the porous material is placed on or next to the solid.
