numgeo is a finite element software for Windows and Linux designed to tackle complex geotechnical challenges. The software is built on robust libraries of multi-physics element formulations and advanced constitutive models for geomaterials, complemented by powerful contact algorithms.
Key Features:
- Multiphase Element Formulations: Simulate dry, saturated, and partially saturated soils under static, transient, and transient dynamic conditions.
- Advanced Material Models: Use a wide range of constitutive models to describe the stress-strain behaviour of cohesive and non-cohesive geomaterials under both monotonic and cyclic loading.
- High-Cycle Accumulation Models: Account for high-cyclic loading of sand and clay, handling tens of thousands to millions of loading cycles.
- Hydro-Mechanically Coupled Models: Model the behaviour of partially saturated and expansive geomaterials.
- Mortar Contact Discretization Methods: Reduce mesh dependency and accurately model large relative displacements in the interface between soils and structures.
- Comprehensive Contact Models: Common models like Coulomb friction or advanced geotechnical models such as Hypoplasticity and the SANISAND model.
numgeo‘s functionality can be extended through predefined interfaces, allowing customizations by Fortran codes for boundary conditions, material models, or contact properties amongst others. Additionally, numgeo includes extensive HTML documentation with installation instructions, benchmarks, tutorials, and a reference manual: https://j-machacek.github.io/numgeo/
