SVSOLID - 2D/3D Finite Element Stress/Deformation Software
SVSOLID is a 1D, 2D, and 3D finite-element program for the calculation of deformations in geotechnical earth structures. The software can solve both simple and complex staged construction and/or excavation problems involving elasto-plastic soft-soil behavior and small and large-strain time-dependent consolidation as well as the deformation of rock materials.
Advanced ability for model grouping / linking
The advanced abilities of model grouping and linking are available, which are particularly useful in large and complex modeling sequences.
Creation of geometry
Creation of geometrically complex digital twin 3D models with the SVDESIGNER™ conceptual model builder. Creation of 3D models from triangulated surfaces (TINS). Multiple 3D model-building methodologies (Extrusions, 2D cross-section stitching, 3D layer cake, or material volume method).
Easy-to-use interface
Easy-to-use and simplified CAD-based user interface:
- A clearly organized menu system with left to right arrangement of primary functions.
- Allows rapid creation of models.
- The new 3D CAD graphics engine provides measurably faster overall operation.
Model finite element stress/deformation
1D/2D/3D finite element stress/deformation modeling.
Model reinforcements, such as bolts
Modeling of reinforcements, such as bolts, is available.
Model small-strain and large-strain consolidation
Modeling of small-strain and large-strain consolidation is available.
Modeling slope stability
Slope stability modeling using the shear strength reduction (SSR) method.
Quad/Triangular/Tetrahedral meshing support
Meshing: Quad/Triangular/Tetrahedral meshing support. Semi-automatic mesh generation and manual mesh refinement. The new 3D solution offers support for both surface meshes and grids. Surface mesh support allows models of higher complexity to be produced.
Staged construction/excavation models
Staged construction/excavation models are available.
Support for constitutive models
Support for over 20 different soil and rock strength models, including Mohr-Coulomb, Hoek-Brown, Undrained, Anisotropic, Bilinear, Frictional-Undrained, Duncan-Chang Hyperbolic, von Mises, Drueker-Praeger, Cam-Clay, ALM1/ALM2/ALM3/ALM4, and four unsaturated shear strength models.
