Composite Liners
This tutorial demonstrates how to apply composite liners to an excavation. A Composite Liner in Phase2 is a liner that may consist of multiple layers of material. The different layers of a Composite Liner may have different material properties and may be applied at different stages. A joint may also be included in the Composite Liner, which will exist between the rockmass and the first liner layer.

Mesh Quality
This tutorial demonstrates the importance of Mesh Quality in Phase2. This tutorial will also show how to identify a poor quality mesh and explain how to improve the quality of the mesh. The final section of this tutorial also gives tips on avoiding creating a poor quality mesh in the first place. (Phase2 5.01, 09/01)
