MODEL CREATION TUTORIALS

Creating models with SVOffice™ is done the same way in all of its modeling applications. The following animated tutorials demonstrate standard software features to create these models:

Opening a Problem - This video shows users how to access the Projects/Problems form. Users are shown how to navigate through the tree structure and select a problem. (180 Kb)

Drawing Geometric Figures (2D) - This video shows users how to access the Regions form. New regions are created and users are shown how to draw shapes. (290 Kb)

Specifying Plots - The user is shown how to specify individual plots through the Plots form. (330 Kb)

Specifying Output Files - The user is shown how to specify output file type through the Plots form. (340 Kb)

Analyzing & Visualizing - The user is shown how to analyze a problem. FlexPDE launches, solves the problem, writes a script, and gives a 2D visualization for each variable. (225 Kb)

Using AcuMesh™ - The user is shown how to alter the view of a model and what each model displays in AcuMesh™. In this example, a contour plot is selected and available for full 3D rotational viewing. (950 Kb)

Solution Modification - Users are shown how to modify equations, and thus solutions in FlexPDE. How to define variables and their corresponding plots is also provided. (360 Kb)

APPLICATION SPECIFIC TUTORIALS

Each modeling package in SVOffice™ contains unique features designed to solve a particular problem. The following animated tutorials demonstrate these features, grouped together by application.

FAQ

• Is SVOffice™ 2009 a separate program ?

No. SVOffice™ 2009 is the platform which bundles the individual programs SVFlux™ SVSlope®, Chemflux™, SVHeat™, SVAirflow™, and SVSolid™ together in one package.



• Why should I purchase this package over other geotechnical software suites?

SVOffice implements greater technical capacity than any other geotechnical software suite. It also allows your geotechnical consulting team to expand capabilities to 3D analysis. A list of key advantages may be found here.



• What type of support do you offer?

We pride ourselves on our fast service and response time to our customers requests for support. We regularly deliver support via e-mail, telephone, and web-conferencing services. Every product purchase includes three months of technical support regarding setup and use of the product. If you would like to extend that technical support period and become eligible for free major version upgrades for your product, consider purchasing the maintenance program described below. We also provide consulting services if you require help with complex numerical modeling problems.



• What testing has been performed to ensure the accuracy of SVOffice™ 2009 programs?

All of our programs have been put through an extensive QAQC program which includes thousands of checks performed automatically on the software prior to each release. You can view some of the problems which were used to benchmark our programs' results in the individual Verification Manuals accessible above.
