Upcoming
Embedded Retaining Walls
November 13, 2025
Explore how you can model sheet piles, secant piles, and anchors in GX — and see how mixed elements and advanced soil models give you more accurate, efficient and verifiable retaining wall designs.
Python Scripting and GX Plugins
November 20, 2025
Find out how you can automate your modelling, run analyses programmatically and create custom plugins — or use ready-made GX tools to streamline design workflows and boost productivity in your projects.
Consolidation
November 26, 2025
Learn how to model consolidation, creep and drainage in GX through a detailed embankment example — showing how excess pore pressures and settlements evolve over time and how to use the results in your design.
Foundations
December 4, 2025
Join this webinar to explore how 2D and 3D foundation analyses are performed in GX — and see how load distribution, geometry and boundary effects influence settlements and bearing capacity.
