CAD\CAM WALLS-FEM Finite Element Analysis for excavation walls
Because of the increasing building densities in cities, more and more demanding analysis of excavations is necessary. The program WALLS-FEM with its effective input and its automatic mesh generation provides an economic calculation of complex excavation pit walls. The SOFiSTiK-calculation kernel implemented in WALLS-FEM computes realistic settlement dells and wall deformations using modern ways of material definitions in all construction stages according to the new reference EB103 of the EAB. WALLS-FEM presents itself as the ideal complement for the WALLS-series (the classic walls excavation calculation program). In this combination first with the program WALLS-excavation you will design the geometry, compute the walls anchoring depth and anchor length due to the formulas of the EAB, then you can import the complete system into WALLS-FEM and after few additional steps you can perform the FE-analysis. With the FEA all relative displacements of soil anchors and wall will fully be considered and now you can verify weather the assumption of the EAB for this case were valid or not. Because of the interactive design of all objects (like anchor angle and -length, initial tension...) the system can be optimised very easily, e.g. for the minimisation of the settlements.
