Dewatered Construction of a Braced Excavation. Failure surface defined by velocity vectors (Factor of Safety = 2.96)
- Large-strain simulation of continua, with optional interfaces that simulate distinct planes along which slip and/or separation can occur
- Explicit solution scheme, giving stable solutions to unstable physical processes
- Groundwater flow, with full coupling to mechanical calculation (including negative pore pressure, unsaturated flow, and phreatic surface calculation)
- Convenient specification of general boundary conditions
- Structural elements (including non-linear material behavior), with general coupling to the continuum
- Library of material models (e.g., elastic, Mohr-Coulomb plasticity, ubiquitous joint, double-yield, strain-softening, modified Cam-Clay, and Hoek-Brown)
- Automatic re-meshing during the solution process in large strain simulations
- Pre-defined database of material properties; users may add and save their own material properties specifications to the database
- A range of optional modules, including: thermal and creep calculations, dynamic analysis capability, two-phase fluid flow model, and user-defined constitutive models written in C++
- Coupling to infinite elastic boundary
- Statistical distribution of any property with extensive facility for generating plots of virtually any problem variable
- Built-in language (FISH) to add user-defined features (e.g., new constitutive models, new variables or new commands)
