GeoStudio

GeoStudio supports slope stability, seepage and coupled geotechnical analysis.

On the software discovery list. Connector development and release dates have not been announced.

Workflow ideas

Define a soil profile

Use the idealised geometry, material assumptions and analysis scope. In the intended GeoStudio preview, define a soil profile; the visible result is a solver-ready model view with mesh regions and constraints exposed. Review units, connectivity, mesh suitability and model assumptions before accepting or exporting it.

Run seepage or stability cases

Start from the selected load cases, contacts and solution controls. In the intended GeoStudio preview, run seepage or stability cases; the visible result is a configured analysis state with loads and boundary conditions visible. Review load paths, restraints, convergence controls and applicable codes before accepting or exporting it.

Compare factors and pore pressures

Begin with the completed result set and acceptance quantities. In the intended GeoStudio preview, compare factors and pore pressures; the visible result is plots or tables that connect response values to the model. Review convergence, sensitivity, units and engineering reasonableness before accepting or exporting it.
