Geotechnical Analysis for RFEM 6

Another useful add-on is Geotechnical Analysis, which allows you to realistically represent soil conditions. It determines the soil to be analyzed in RFEM using the properties from soil samples. This helps you achieve a much higher quality in the structural analysis of buildings.

Input and Results

Another useful add-on, Geotechnical Analysis, allows you to realistically determine the soil conditions. This add-on uses the properties from soil samples to determine the soil body to be analyzed. You can thus achieve a much higher quality in the structural analysis of structures.

You can enter and model a soil solid directly in RFEM.
You can combine the soil material models with all common RFEM add-ons.
This allows you to easily analyze overall models with a complete representation of the soil-structure interaction.
All parameters required for the calculation are automatically determined from the material data that you have entered.
The program then generates the stress-strain curves for each FE element.
You can enter the soil layers, obtained from the subsoil expertises done in the locations, directly into the program.
You can assign the explored soil materials, including their material properties, to the layers.

Other Models

Material Models

Do you want to model and analyze the behavior of a soil solid? To ensure this, special suitable material models have been implemented in RFEM.

You can use the modified Mohr-Coulomb model with a linear-elastic ideal-plastic model or a nonlinear elastic model with an oedometric stress-strain relation.

The limit criterion, which describes the transition from the elastic area to that of the plastic flow, is defined according to Mohr-Coulomb.

More Info

Soil-Structure Interaction

You already know that modeling and analyzing soil and structure is possible in the global model. This allows you to explicitly consider soil-structure interaction. By modifying a component, you immediately achieve the correct consideration in the analysis and in the results for the entire structural system consisting of soil and structure.

More Features

Soil Samples

Did you know that you can enter soil samples from the soil layers of your soil expertise directly into the program? Assign the corresponding soil materials and material properties to the layers. For the definition of the samples, enter the data in tables or in the editing dialog box, and don't forget to specify the groundwater level in the soil samples.

Fantastic and Professional Support

I would just like to send a quick note to wish everyone at Dlubal well, in particular I would like to say thank you for the fantastic, thorough and professional support you provide.

Powerful, Easy to Use, Easy to Learn…

We adopted Dlubal in our work and haven't looked back. Powerful, easy to use, easy to learn, with mercifully simple output (once set up).

Soil Massifs

Soil massifs are created using soil samples, and allow for the automatic determination of the layer boundaries, ground water level, and boundary surface supports. Thus, you can define a specific FE mesh size for soil structures in the entire model, regardless of the global settings.

Printout Report

Your data are always documented in a multilingual printout report. You can adjust the content at any time and save it as a template. You can also add graphics, texts, MathML formulas, and PDF documents to your report with just a few clicks.

Diagrams

Are you ready for the evaluation? Calculation diagrams are available for this purpose, which display the distribution of a certain result during a calculation.

You can freely define the assignment of the vertical and horizontal axes of the calculation diagram. This makes it possible for you to view, for example, the distribution of the settlement of a certain node depending on the load.

More Features

Stress Results

A graphical and tabular output of the results for deformations, stresses, and strains helps you when determining the soil solids. To achieve this, use the special filter criteria for targeted selection of results.

The program doesn't leave you alone with the results. If you want to graphically evaluate the results in the soil solids, you can use the guide objects. For example, you can define clipping planes. This allows you to view the corresponding results in any plane of the soil solid.
