- Embankments
- Foundations
- Ground Improvement
Full flexibility to model your embankments adding cross sections, multiple layers and user-defined staging sequences. Define the shape freely in 2D and extruded in 3D with user-defined end angles.
Article: New Updates
Apply foundations as loads with flexible or rigid footing. Define various shapes, loads per vertices and staging sequences. Gain the ability to import multiple loads obtained from structural software programs such as SAFE.

Ground improvement regions can be applied with respect to different loading conditions in Settle3. Choose soil replacement, vibro-compaction, or stone columns to design your foundation with ground improvement. Also wick drains and stone column drainage option is available as well for accelerating consolidations in your analysis.
Settle3: Advanced Staging of Stone Columns
Import borehole data from RSLog directly into Settle3 which can be used to quickly define your soil layers and material properties, without manually inputting data. You can also import field test data (e.g. SPT blow counts) directly from RSLog into your Settle3 project.

Non-Horizontal Surface Loading
Define loads with different elevations at the vertices or geometry that needs to be placed on top of non-horizontal ground surfaces. Simulate different stress distributions along different depth of loads applied for different sections and apply variable loading for the analysis of staged construction with variations in the geometry’s depth/elevation.
-
Ground improvement with advanced stage columns
Have more flexibility in defining soil layer boundaries for 2D soil profile in Settle3 and freely draw soil profile without any limitations. Create models including discontinuous soil layers, sink holes, utility trenches and more. Add further details to your soil profile with drainage conditions between each soil layer.
-
CPT Classification and Soil Profile Creation
For CPT analysis, Settle3 provides a standalone feature that allows you to see many different results available in Settle3, including soil classification. The soil classification can now be used to create a soil model for settlement analysis using the section creator feature in Settle3.
