TORONTO, ON. (February 1, 2009) - Rocscience is pleased to announce the release of Settle3D version 2.0, an upgrade to their popular settlement and consolidation program. Settle3D is an extremely useful program for calculating settlement and consolidation under foundations, embankments and surface loads. Settle3D combines the simplicity of one-dimensional analysis with the power and visualization capabilities of more sophisticated three-dimensional programs.
“When we released Settle3D version 1.0, we knew it wouldn’t be long before we had to come up with version 2.0, due to the sheer number of user requests for additional functionality. Well, here it is!! Version 2.0 development was largely guided by user feedback, and we expect the new and improved features to be very useful for a wide range of settlement analysis requirements”, says our geophysics specialist, Dr. James Hazzard.
New features include:
|
Enhanced analytical capabilities
Multi-Layer Stress Calculations - A multi-layer stress
solution in which the stresses calculated beneath loads
and foundations depend on the stiffness of the
underlying material layers
Rigid Foundations - a rigorous, robust method for
simulating rigid foundations
Empirical methods, such as the Schmertmann method, for
calculating settlement on cohesionless soils
Ability to perform inverse problems such as calculating the
height of a preload required to produce a desired settlement
or calculating the time required to reach a given
degree of consolidation
Improved Report Generator
Allows users to pick and choose the data they want to see,
using an easy-to-use checklist. Properties and analysis
results are more intuitively laid out
Many other features including
collapsible soils
preloads
plotting of new data types
new graphing options
lots of interface improvements
