GEO5
FEM
This program, based on the finite element method, can model
and analyze a wide range of geotechnical problems, including terrain settlement, sheet pile/diaphragm walls, slope stability, excavation analysis. It offers several material models for soils and a variety
of structural elements such as walls, anchors, geotextiles
or geogrids. The GEO5 FEM is used to compute displacements, internal forces in structural elements, stresses and strains
and plastic zones in the soil and other quantities in every construction stage.
With extension modules the program also performs the Tunnel excavation analysis, the steady sate or transient Water Flow analysis or the coupled Consolidation analysis.
Main Features
- Variety of conventional and state-of-the-art material models:
- Linear elastic model
- Modified elastic model
- Mohr-Coulomb model
- Modified Mohr-Coulomb model with hardening/softening
- Drucker-Prager model
- Cam Clay model
- Hypoplastic model for clay
- Wide range of common structural elements:
- Concrete walls, pile walls, soldier pile walls (Braced Sheeting) or reinforced tunnel lining are modeled
by the beam elements with catalogued profiles and materials - Anchors
- Nails
- Props
- Reinforcements (geotextiles, geogrids)
- Concrete walls, pile walls, soldier pile walls (Braced Sheeting) or reinforced tunnel lining are modeled
- Contacts elements between soil and structure with nonlinear stress-displacement relation
- The model consists of several construction stages to account for the construction process
- Any number of surcharges (strip, trapezoidal, line load) can be added to the model in any construction stage
- Boundary conditions are generated either automatically or defined specifically for chosen points or lines
- The ground water table is either user-defined or computed in GEO5 FEM – Water Flow and imported via GeoClipboard
- Each material model can be either in drained or undrained conditions
- The stability analysis can be run in each construction stage with either static or earthquake loading providing a current factor of safety
- An extensive list of variables (settlements, stresses, strains, plastic zones, pore pressure, etc.) is plotted
on either deformed or undeformed model - The distribution of internal forces and deformation of the structural elements is available
- The evolution of quantities at chosen points is observed by the means of monitors and graphs
- Automatic mesh generator issues warnings on problematic topology parts
- The size of elements can be adjusted by point, line and free refinements
- The program supports DXF import and export

I use wide scale of programs in different language versions for foreign contracts. I appreciate the possibilities of calculation according to various foreign standards.
Thanks to GEO5 I can propose, test and decide optimal solutions to complex geotechnical problems based on several approaches and hypotheses, thanks to its versatility, simplicity and step by step analysis. The technical service is at the height of the best, being professionals with deep knowledge in the subjects that treat the programs.
It’s really great how easy the software is. I’m now doing the calculations so much faster and easier than doing it manually and most importantly, the technical customer service team are great and they respond instantly and professionally to any question or clarification. Thank you guys for being so awesome. High fives!
