Key Workflows
Explore key features and workflows
Soil Analysis
Perform cutting-edge geotechnical soil analysis under a variety of stress conditions. Supports multiple constitutive soil models such as Mohr-Coulomb, Soft Soil, and Hardening Soil (small) to simulate real-world soil behavior with high accuracy.
Soil-Structure Interactions
Simulate interaction between retaining walls, anchors, geotextiles, and other structural elements with surrounding soil, including staged construction to ensure your designs reflect realistic construction processes.
Flow Analysis
Model steady-state and transient groundwater flow, seepage, and consolidation to analyze water pressures and evaluate their impact on soil stability to ensure a long-term performance under challenging groundwater conditions.
