Safe Features

 

• Analysis of plane stress, plane strain or axially symmetric problems. General loading of linear elastic axisymmetric structures can be carried out using a Fourier series technique.

• Linear or non-linear behaviour

• Gravity loading

• Pore pressures and effective stresses are identified separately, allowing computation for drained or undrained conditions, and time dependent consolidation

• Incremental loading and changes of material properties, permitting the formation of excavations, embankments etc.

• Intermediate results can be stored and inspected before the problem is continued further.

• Pressure (distributed) and line loading

• Fixed or spring restraints

• 8 noded quadrilateral elements. These can be curvilinear

• Consolidation problems

• Wells

• Seepage and flow

• Extensive graphical input options and in-built mesh generation facility

• Wide range of graphical output and printing facilities
