The software featured several hallmark capabilities for its time:
Ideal for initial scoping, stability analysis, and modeling general soil behavior under constant loading conditions. However, it lacks the ability to capture stress-dependent stiffness. Hardening Soil Model (HS)
The software can handle groundwater flow, including steady-state calculations. The feature is perhaps the most critical, allowing users to simulate the actual construction sequence, which is vital for correctly modeling the stress history of the soil.
