Compute Overview

The Compute menu allows the user to select the type of analysis to conduct on the model.

Compute Analysis

EX3 uses surface mesh to calculate the stress outside the excavation or the backfill. EX3 outputs the results on the field points that can be modified by the user.

Each time an EX3 analysis is computed, a LOG file (*.log) is created which summarizes a few key analysis parameters from the finite element analysis (e.g. number of iterations, convergence history etc.).
