Vertical penetration (Cone Penetration Test) - input_data.jsonΒΆ

The complete input_data.json for Tutorial 3. Every key is described on the input_data.json file format page.

The run folder also needs the cone geometry CPT.stl and its mesh cache CPT_mesh.txt, from the top level of the AMPSSIE repository.
