Hi,

I've been using HAMT simulation within E+. I've noticed that the initial water content in the run period is not what I defined in the IDF.

In the example below, the starting water content ratio is below 0.3, the value I defined in the IDF. My guess is that it changed after the warm-up period.

Has anyone run into the same issue? And how have you solved this?

Hi. Have you tried adapting your boundary conditions? I.e. increase surrounding moisture content so that the material does not dry out?
