Micropile Design Software – FEM-Based Analysis in OPTUM GX
Micropile design software helps engineers analyse and assess small-diameter drilled piles(micropiles) used where access is restricted, ground conditions are challenging, or high loads mustbe transferred to deeper strata. Typical applications include underpinning, foundationstrengthening, and retrofit projects in urban environments. OPTUM GX provides a finite element–based framework for analysing micropiles as part of an integrated soil–structure system, accountingfor ground conditions, loading

Sheet Pile Design Software – FEM-Based Analysis in OPTUM GX
Sheet pile design software enables engineers to model, analyse, and assess interlocking sheet pile wall systems used for earth and water retention projects. Typical applications include deep excavations, cofferdams, quay walls, and temporary or permanent retaining structures. OPTUM GX’s advanced finite element–based engine handles soil–structure interaction, groundwater conditions, and staged construction effects within a single, integrated analysis framework. By representing

Excavation Software
Excavation Software for Efficient Earthworks Excavation software lets engineers plan, model, and analyse earthworks safely, accurately, and with full control over soil behaviour. OPTUM GX takes this further by combining advanced FEM and optimisation-based analysis in one environment — allowing you to design excavations, tunnels, and support systems with confidence. Whether you work on urban basements, deep cuts, shafts, or

Finite Element Analysis Software for Geotechnical Engineering (2D & 3D)
What Is Finite Element Analysis Software — and Why It Matters in Geotechnics? Finite element analysis software (FEA software) divides complex structures into small elements to predict stresses, deformations, and stability with high accuracy. In geotechnical engineering, these elements represent soil, rock, and soil–structure interaction — areas where traditional FEM tools often struggle with convergence and modelling complexity. Finite element

Soil Modelling Software for Advanced Geotechnical Design
Soil modelling software allows engineers to simulate and understand how soil behaves under load, drainage, and deformation.

Seepage Analysis Software
Seepage in geotechnical engineering poses risks like internal erosion and instability; with numerical seepage analysis in OPTUM GX, engineers can model these mechanisms.

Fast, Reliable Foundation Analysis Software
OPTUM GX is a powerful foundation analysis software for both shallow and deep foundations, including footings, piles, and mats/raft foundations.

Retaining Wall Design Software
Retaining wall design software is essential for modelling and verifying stability in excavations, basements, and permanent earth-retaining structures.

Slope Stability Analysis Software – OPTUM GX for 2D & 3D Geotechnical Modelling
Slope stability analysis software is essential in geotechnical engineering. Whether assessing a natural slope or designing an engineered slope or embankment.
