A: For deep excavations and soil-structure interaction, Plaxis is more robust. For retaining walls, bearing capacity, and fast slope analysis, Geo5 Full is significantly faster and more user-friendly.
The Fine Cloud License system allows for flexible management of purchased licenses, which are stored in the cloud and accessed when the program starts (requiring an internet connection).
Essential for deep excavation design. It models sheet pile, soldier pile, and diaphragm walls, accounting for multiple anchoring levels and internal bracing. Geological Surveys and Digital Terrain Modeling Geo5 Full
Calculates active, passive, and at-rest earth pressures acting on arbitrary structures, factoring in stratified soils, surcharges, and seismic effects. Foundation Design (Shallow and Deep)
Simulates braced or anchored sheet pile walls, soldier piles, and diaphragm walls using elastoplastic non-linear methods. Essential for deep excavation design
: As of the 2025 version, all output reports and languages are available free of charge within the software license.
: Finite Element Method (FEM) modules for modeling complex tunnels, consolidations, and earthquake-induced ground motion. Foundation Design (Shallow and Deep) Simulates braced or
Tailings dam stability, foundation design for energy infrastructure, and underground excavation modeling.
