Phase2 Tutorials > Finite Element Groundwater Seepage
Phase2 has the capability to carry out a finite element groundwater seepage analysis, for saturated / unsaturated, steady state flow conditions.
This tutorial demonstrates the basic features of performing a groundwater seepage analysis with Phase2, and how this functionality is fully integrated with the stress analysis functionality of Phase2.
The seepage analysis capability in Phase2 can also be used as a standalone groundwater program, independently of the stress analysis functionality of Phase2.
