GEO5 utilizes 3D subsoil models to enhance project understanding and collaboration in geotechnical engineering. By integrating detailed geological data into a unified 3D environment through the Stratigraphy program, engineers can accurately simulate site conditions, visualize geological profiles and cross-sections, and perform precise geotechnical calculations.
This capability extends to modeling earthworks and simulating construction (structures) scenarios effectively, thereby improving the accuracy of initial designs and facilitating seamless data exchange with other construction phases and disciplines.
Includes all 38 GEO5 computer software programs
