DATA & FILE OVERVIEW
--------------------

Code and results for a study into the propagation of P-waves through a saturated granular medium. Code will generated ABAQUS .inp files, 
which after completion can be post processed to extract P-wave velocity. Results are provided, and code used to produce plots.

This dataset contains:
