I know it is Pressure but what is the difference between this one and stress or Piola stress? I could not find it in the manual!

Hi,

solid.pm is the 'pressure', that is -trace(Cauchy_stress_tensor)/3 .

If you want to see the exact definition of a variable, go into Equation View. See the attached screenshot.

Regards,
Henrik
