Geotechnical Soil Model

Soil model intended for modelling of embedded piles.

The input to the geotechnical soil model consist of

  • Geotechnical model

    • The soil layer profile is a vertical slice of soil layers with specified lower z-value

    • The soil characteristics are specified in the soil materials.

  • Available soil materials are

  • Specification of geotechnical model, corresponding line(s) and global z-coordinate for the sea floor.
