Q: Is DeepEX solely a FEM software?
A: Beyond FEM, DeepEX offers you a comprehensive suite of analysis methods, seamlessly integrated. From traditional Limit Equilibrium Method to advanced Non-Linear analysis with elastoplastic Winkler springs and the Finite Element Analysis, it empowers you to fluidly switch and validate models using different approaches. This not only unveils critical conditions but also reinforces final designs, ensuring safer project outcomes. See the illustration below for a braced excavation model analyzed through both LEM and FEM in DeepEX.

Q: Can DeepEX model excavation effects on existing structures?
A: Absolutely, with the DeepFEM engine. DeepEX facilitates concurrent analysis and design of soil-bound elements like foundation piles, utility lines, and tunnels through its Finite Element analysis engine. This unprecedented capability empowers you to thoroughly assess construction stages, offering you insights into potential risks and efficiencies. The figure below showcases a TBM tunnel with segmental lining adjacent to a basement wall excavation, with details ranging from tunnel lining to excavation wall moments and soil displacement arrows.

Q: Is DeepEX specialized in geotechnical or structural aspects?
A: It adeptly merges both domains, enabling you to attain a comprehensive view of your excavation projects. DeepEX comprehensively analyzes shoring systems, encompassing wall stress components and support reactions. It not only identifies critical stages but also performs exhaustive structural checks, leveraging a wide spectrum of codes and standards (Eurocodes, ACI, AISC, LRFD, NTC, DIN, BS, AS/NZS, Chinese, Indian, Canadian, and more). The following figure portrays calculated support reactions, check ratios, and a glimpse of the exportable structural check equations from DeepEX.

Q: Can DeepEX handle complex project plans?
A: Certainly, with its 3D expansion capability. DeepEX seamlessly accommodates export, analysis, and design of structural elements within complete 3D models. This extends to anchor, strut, and waler reactions, automatic optimization, steel connection assessments, cost estimations, and even integration of site maps and elevations from DXF files. The outcome is a visually striking 3D model featuring construction stages, poised to impress clients.
