Analysis methods

The frame "Analysis methods" serves to specify standards or methods that are used to perform the analysis.

The "Analyses" tab sheet allows the user to define the basic characteristics of the analysis to be carried out including the type of the problem and analysis, the method of calculating the initial stress (geostatic stress, Ko procedure) and available standards for concrete and steel structures.

The available problem (plane, axisymmetric) and analysis (stress, stability, water flow, tunnels) types depend on the purchased configuration of the program.

Providing all modes are available we recommend to proceed with extreme caution when selecting the type analysis – more complex types require distinctively larger number of input data and may unnecessarily complicate the use of the program.

This tab sheet also allows for choosing the option "Enhanced input", which affects both the input parameters of the program and possibilities of presenting the analysis results.

This tab sheet also serves to select the method for calculating the initial stress in the first stage of construction – either standard calculation of geostatic stress or the Ko procedure.
