    This document describes performing an undrained analysis in MIDAS GTS 2D to model excess pore pressure generation in a 2m wide, 6m long column under layered loading. The model applies 10kN/m^2 and then 20kN/m^2 of undrained pressure loading in stages. Pore pressures of 2.5kN/m^2 and 5kN/m^2 respectively are generated according to the theoretical calculations. Material properties, element types, boundary conditions and loading stages are defined to model the undrained behavior.
