Hi

When i am using this getCapillaryStress utility function, i am getting mean capillary stress in order of 10^-9 kPa. So, i calculated my deviatoric stress from the triaxial stress recorder and getStress, so i nearly got them as same (but for each iteration getStress gave me higher deviatoric stress which differed by an order of 10^-3). For all my cases (constant suction triaxial) i got higher deviatoric stress for wet cases in comparison to the dry case, but my capillary stresses where very less and i checked few of the published papers, where their capillary stress was much more higher in order of  4 - 5 kPa. 

So, i don't understand why inspite of getting higher deviatoric stress for wet cases with respect to dry case, my capillary stresses are still so less. 

Thanks
Amiya
