Automatic
Mesh Refinement Example!
SVSolid
beta release!
SoilVision
Systems Ltd. is proud to announce the upcoming
release of the SVSolid software package. The
SVSolid
software package offers 2D and 3D finite element
solutions to stress/deformation problems in
saturated and unsaturated soils. SVSolid will
offer the following general features:
Easy-to-use
CAD interface
2D
and 3D automatic mesh creation
2D
and 3D automatic mesh refinement
Model
settlements in saturated or unsaturated soils
2D
or 3D analysis
Model
stress/deformation using an unlimited number
of soil regions
Five
different soil models including linear elastic,
hyperbolic Duncan and Chang, and a nonlinear
elastic model
Imports
groundwater pore-water pressures from SVFlux
Boundary
conditions may be represented as constants
or free-form equations
Input
3D problems as complex surfaces and layers
In
addition to a stalwart group of features, the
following contributions make SVSolid a state-of-the-art
package.
models volume change in unsaturated soils
when coupled with SVFlux
improved model convergence and stability with
preconditioning of the convergence matrix
automatically identifies critical zones of
the problems and refines the mesh according
to any critical variable
Beta
Testing Program
SoilVision Systems Ltd. is currently taking
applications for beta testers of the SVSolid
software package. A limited number of beta testers
will be provided with a FREE beta version of
the SVSolid software. We are particularly looking
for comparisons to existing software packages
or applications to real-world problems. If you
are interested in becoming a beta tester, please
submit your contact information in the form
provided here.
SVHeat
release!
SoilVision
Systems Ltd. is proud to announce the release of the
SVHeat geothermal finite element software. SVHeat
represents the current state-of-the-art in geothermal
modeling software. Modeling of heat flow in cold regions
is both simple and powerful.
With
features such as automatic mesh generation and refinement
in both 2D and 3D as well as advanced convergence
methods, SVHeat provides fast and accurate solutions.
Modeling time can be reduced by up to 80% over currently
available software packages.
Read
our news release here
or download one of our brochures.
SVHeat
was designed to offer advances over currently available
software packages in the following ways.
A
tutorial manual has been completed for the SoilVision database
software and is available for download free of charge to
all current users of the SoilVision, SoilVision Professional,
SoilVision Enterprise and SoilVision Lite software packages.
The tutorial manual is a comprehensive addition to the already
detailed documentation of the SoilVision software package.
It contains 76 pages of detailed instructions regarding
the use of the SoilVision software. The tutorial manual
is divided into three sections: 1) basic data entry, 2)
theoretical estimations, and 3) making use of the SoilVision
dataset of 6000 soils.
Section
one walks the user through specific examples of entering
sieve, hydrometer, soil-water characteristic, and permeability
information. The basics of soil classification by the USDA
and USCS methods are also outlined.
Sections
two and three cover estimation of unsaturated soil properties
using theoretical methods or statistical methods. Theoretical
estimation of the soil-water characteristic curve as well
as saturated and unsaturated permeability information is
covered. Section three then shows the user how to confirm
the results of a theoretical estimation by pulling soils
information from the dataset of over 6000 soils.
If
you are a registered user of SoilVision 3.x or SoilVision Lite
3.x the manual is available free of charge from the SoilVision
download site. If you do not remember the location of the
download site, Contact
us.
A
demo of the popular TecPlot 3D visualization software is
now available for download! The demo may be downloaded and
enabled for a one-month period. We also have posted results
from our finite element model on respective web pages. The
TecPlot visualization files may be downloaded and viewed
to get a feel of the high-quality output possible with the
TecPlot graphics engine. All our finite element packages
use the TecPlot engine to visualize 3D output.

packages
A
detailed description of features has been published for
the SVFlux, ChemFlux, SVHeat and SVSolid software packages.
The detailed feature list provides details on why our
modeling packages
allow streamlined solution of complicated problems.
