RE: D-Settlement Prototype: Participate & Win - Forum - Embankments
On the 21st Dec 2021, we meet to share experiences and expectations for the further development during the (online) Users Day.
We know the end of the year can be busy, so to help and stimulate you experimenting with the D-Settlement prototype, we decided to make this challenge.
All you need to do is to reproduce the calculation attached to this post with the new D-Settlement prototype
DSet_prot_contest.sli
Submit a print screen of your settlement curve (time-history) at the (original) soil surface hereunder, by replying to this post.
Did something did not go as you expected? Send us an email.
Remember that you can already experiment with D-Settlement prototype:

The (old) D-Series D-Settlement can be downloaded here. Even if you don't have a license you can open the file to gather the input. You can find the result below (reply to this post).
Looking forward to seeing your results, success!
