Hi, I have a question regarding my model. I am trying to simulate a poroelastic material which undergoes an external load from a structure which comes into contact with my fluid. I modeled the contact structure with a prescribed deformation, however I don't know how I could model the change in pore pressure due to the contact in the Darcy's law node. Indeed, when I visualize the results, the displacement of my fluid follows the displacement of the stucture in contact (hence the Solid mechanics node should be correct) but the pressure and the velocity of the fluid is always 0 regardless of the displacement of the contact structure. Any suggestion? Thank you in advance for the attention
