Tunnels

The frame "Analysis methods" in conjunction with the "Analyses" tab sheet allows for selecting the option "Tunnels". (This module has to be purchased by the user – otherwise this option is not available). When selecting the "Tunnels" regime it is possible to define and calculate:

- Excavations (Modeling a 3D effect at the tunnel face assuming the New Austrian method)
- gradual degradation of beams
- subjecting beams to thermal loading
- thermal loading applied to selected regions (Advanced input is required)
- prescribing swelling stress to selected regions
- monitoring results

The mode "Tunnels" can be switched on/off at any time. The previous results will be, however, deleted. While switching from a standard regime to the "Tunnels" regime is safe, proceeding in the opposite direction results into deleting all inputted data – a warning message, however, appears before this action is completed.
