LimitState:GEO - Tutorial Movies
A series of short tutorial movies which cover some of the most common modelling and analysis scenarios are provided here. All are recorded in real time and demonstrate just how easy it is to be productive with LimitState:GEO.
The LimitState:GEO YouTube Channel contains other real time examples of analysis with the software.
Creating a Model

Gravity Wall WizardCommon problem types such as slopes, footings and retaining walls can be rapidly defined in LimitState:GEO using the built-in wizards. Here, the Gravity Wall wizard is used to generate a model before an analysis is conducted. The entire process takes a little over 1 minute. |

User-defined GeometryThe wizards are a good starting point if you wish to define your own problem geometry. Here a vertical footing is generated with a wizard and the problem is then modified by the user to include multiple soil layers (including a lens) and a slope. |

Starting from ScratchIf your problem cannot be defined by modifying the geometry generated by a wizard then you can start with an Empty Project and quickly draw and modify your own geometry on-screen. Here, a propped excavation problem is set up and solved. The geometry is then modified to determine the effect of excavating horizontally beneath the prop. The influence of this on the adequacy factor and associated failure mechanism is clearly evident. |

DXF ImportTo save time, LimitState:GEO allows you to import problem geometries from a DXF file, a feature which is especially useful when dealing with complex geometries. Here, the geometry for a retaining wall problem is imported before materials, supports and loading are applied. The model is here analysed assuming that the wall is formed from blocks which are effectively 'glued' together. However, the wall could easily be modelled as a series of blocks separated by frictional interfaces simply by applying a suitable material to the inter-block boundaries. |
