GeoStudio makes broad use of generalized functions for material property and boundary condition definition. Applying materials across all analyses makes it easy to change your material definition when you are using many analyses in a single project.ĭefine Soil and Rock Material Models using Flexible, Generalized Functions Material properties can also be applied globally to all analyses in the project or to individual analyses. You can also remove portions of the domain in different analysis by not applying materials to these regions this allows each analysis to consider new regions added to the domain in stages. Applying materials to individual regions allows you to model different materials in different analyses. Once the domain regions are defined, you can apply material properties to each of the regions individually or as a group.
In addition, image files can be imported, scaled, and the region geometry drawn directly over top.Īpply Materials to the Domain for each Analysis Otho-snapping to horizontal and vertical directions can be used to facilitate geometry definition.ĪutoCAD DWG or DXF files can be imported directly into GeoStudio for the definition of domain geometry. GeoStudio provides all the tools necessary to define the model domain including coordinate import, copy-paste geometric items, length and angle feedback, region merge, region split, and direct keyboard entry of coordinates, lengths, and angles. Each sensitivity run is now a complete slope stability analysis, allowing you to view all computed slip surface results for each individual run.ĭefine Geometry using Drawing Tools or by Importing CAD filesĭefining the geometry of the physical system is usually the first step in a numerical analysis. The Sensitivity Runs window displays a list of runs performed for a sensitivity analysis. If detailed results are unavailable, GeoStudio will compute them on-demand, allowing you to view detailed forces or graphs on any particular slip surface without having to designate it as a "critical" slip surface. When you select a slip surface, the Results view will show the complete slip surface results.
The Slip Surfaces window displays a list of SLOPE/W computed trial slip surfaces. When you select a time step, all currently displayed views and dialog boxes show the results computed for the selected time. The Result Times window displays a list of time steps that have computed results. The Solve Manager allows you to solve one or more analyses and watch their progress even while continuing to work on another analysis. The Analysis Explorer displays a tree view of the analyses in the project, allowing you to quickly change the analysis you are viewing.
A status bar provides both view information and quick access to commands such as zooming, and a progress bar during lengthy operations such as solving.ĭocking windows include an Analysis Explorer, Solve Manager, Result Times, Slip Surfaces, and Sensitivity Runs. You can customize the display of docking windows to suit your particular needs. Analyses created with a Geostudio Basic license can be included in the same file as the full-featured GeoStudio analysis, further unlocking the power of integration.ĭocking windows in GeoStudio allow you to view information in multiple views so you can quickly access the data you need.
Included with the purchase of any GeoStudio single product or bundle is a free GeoStudio Basic license. Use this approach to model construction sequences, establish initial conditions, perform sensitivity analyses, model complex time sequences, or simply decompose a complex problem into a number of smaller, more manageable analyses. This unique and powerful feature greatly expands the types of problems you can analyze. When you are ready to analyze the model, GeoStudio solves the analyses in the appropriate order, taking advantage of parallel processing. New analyses can be easily created by cloning an existing analysis and adjusting its properties. You can then use the results from one analysis as the starting conditions for another one.
The integrated GeoStudio software suite allows you to combine multiple analyses using different products into a single modelling project. Combine Analyses in a Single, Integrated Project
