Saturated/unsaturated seepage FEM analysis program
Initial Release: 2010.04.30 / Latest Ver.: 2016.06.06
Related products and services: Geotechnical analysis support service
VGFlow2D is the saturated-unsaturated seepage analysis program using Finite Element Method (FEM) which is collaborated with Gunma University.
This program uses strict saturated-unsaturated seepage analysis based on Richards equation, and covers all topics without simplifying so that the applicable scope is not limited and you can use this product for general-purpose.
Especially, the latest knowledge learned from the disaster instance due to the current torrential rain increase opportunities of seepage analysis. Production of the pore pressure that comes along with the torrential rain can be simulated by FEM analysis.
Functions
Steady flow analysis and unsteady flow analysis can be performed, and a wide range of boundary conditions are supported so that almost all 2D seepage phenomenon can be modeled.

Features
PreProcessor
This is FEM analysis software but its interface is very similar to our UC-1 design software, so that the customer can manipulate as usual design software. In addition, this interface is common mesh split interface with other geotechnical series, it results in time savings in the learning the operations.
AutoCAD2007 format and SXF format CAD file can be imported, and modeling by scanning of the drawing (paper information) is available.
Statement output function of preprocessor
All input items from the model creation tab to analysis condition tab can be output with graphical figures. It can freely be customized by switching items on the printing setting window, thus you can output statements required.
Solver
Gunma University's Solver whose quality and reliability has been highly-acclaimed is used.
PostProcessor
Many post output functions and animations allow the access of the analysis result visually in all aspects.
This application allows the output of FEM analysis result in flow net(streamline net), and the time transition of flow net can be checked in animation.
Unsteady analysis results can be saved in AVI format as a movies file.
Statement output function of PostProcessor
Post processor outputs all analysis results from model figure to numerical output with graphical figures. Like the preprocessor, output contents can freely be customized by switching items on the printing setting window. Output flexibility is well considered, so that node number, element number, and time range (during unsteady analaysis) can also be customized.

It can modelize only ground that a surrounding ground effect analysis is conducted in the Temporary sheathing work design. The ground deformation can be calculated by giving the wall displacement as the forced displacement. |
Dynamic effective stress analysis for ground (UWLC) Acceleration rate imported to Slope stability analysis for further analysis When applying the Newmark method to high embankments with a height of about 30 m or more, it is necessary to input the response acceleration waveform of the slip soil mass as the ground motion. Data linkage between "Dynamic effective stress analysis for ground (UWLC)" and "Slope stability analysis" corresponds to the Newmark method analysis calculated by using the response acceleration waveform. The level2 seismic stability calculation for high embankment and large embankment.
