Geotechnical Analysis

Soil Pressures

Press the “Analysis” and “Pressures” tabs. You can select the direct pressures caused by the foundations, commonly called pressure bulbs, the effective pressure of the soil only or the total effective pressure.

Automatically, the vertical planes of pressure maps will be positioned at the maximum. If you want to position them at other coordinates, uncheck “Automatic Position” and enter the desired coordinate.

Tip

You can activate/deactivate the simultaneous display of axes, pressures on foundation seals, soil layers (with variable opacity) and water table by pressing the button to control the display of elements in the upper right corner of the model space.

Instant & Consolidation

Press the “Analysis” and “Settlements” tab, you can select instant settlements, primary consolidation settlements, or total settlements.

At any time, you can display the surface soil deform or not and vary the display scale in the “Visualization” submenu.

The vertical planes of pressure maps will automatically be positioned at the maximum. If you want to position them at other coordinates, deselect “Automatic Position” and enter the desired coordinate.

Differential Settlements

Press the “Analysis” and “Differentials” tab, you can select instant settlements, primary consolidation settlements, or total settlements. Depending on the option selected, a list of conflicts that occur based on the analysis parameters entered when running the calculation is generated. At any time you can display or not the deformed ground surface and vary the display scale in the “Visualization” submenu.
