Once initialized a new model through the "New" command, the user can proceed to assign or change the input data.
As an example you can find bellow a sequence of operations that allow to perform a complete analysis of a bulkhead:
1. | Add in the Archive section the geometry of the bulkhead section that you are going to analyze and choose the material |
2. | Define the reinforcements options |
3. | Define the structure of the bulkhead which can also be constituted by sections of different type |
4. | Input ground geometry data |
5. | Define the soil characteristics and the eventual presence of groundwater |
6. | Define the characteristics of any struts or anchors |
7. | Define any loads on the ground and on the structure |
8. | Set the analysis method (L.E.M. or F.E.M.) |
9. | In case you have chosen the method F.E.M. define any pressure, reaction modulus and boundary conditions |
10. | Define the computation combinations for the construction phases that you want to analyze, assign the seismic parameters for seismic combinations, start the analysis of the bulkhead |
11. | Once the analysis is performed you can view all the results and reinforcements designed (structural analysis results, diagrams, sections carpentry, etc. ..) |
12. | Export the computation report using the command "Create report" in the Output menu |
13. | Carry out the analysis of global stability and export the results. |
Further will be described the windows that allow the user to perform the analysis.
