About

This workshop offers comprehensive insights into advanced techniques for complex deep excavation projects, including Finite Element Analysis, tunnel design, transportation assessments, and reinforced embankments.

Caterpillar Excavation 3D FEM in DeepEX.webp

In this workshop, you will learn the basics of the design of complex deep excavation projects with advanced methods. The seminar will provide a strong theoretical background on the design of excavations with the 2D and 3D Finite Element Analysis method, explain the methods and tricks for the design and evaluation of complex deep excavation models. The workshop will build on solid fundamentals and help engineers minimize uncertainties in deep excavation design.

"It was a pleasure meeting you in New York, the workshop was a great add-on for me as a user of the software. It has provided validation of used method and has shown new way of using the software. "

Eric Lahita, President Lahita Engineering

"Overall, I thought it was a great class!. I learned a great deal of info, and I’m sure the powerpoint slides will come in handy as a reference."

"Since I came back from your Workshop in Plano TX, I have been introducing DeepEX to my colleagues. There is no other software out there that can be compared to DeepEX!"
