Uneven Terrain

The terrain surface of my soil to be analyzed is uneven. How can I edit the geometry of my soil massif for the modeling?


Answer:

The geometry of the soil solids of a soil massif can be edited manually as soon as you set the "Set of Soil Solids" type in the input dialog box.

Step 1 (optional) - Soil Massif from Soil Samples

The massif can first be generated from soil samples in order to take advantage of the generated soil solids with the soil materials and layer boundaries resulting from the subsoil exploration data contained in the soil samples.
This can be done in the first step, as shown in Image 01.

Step 2 - Setting the Set of Soil Solids Type

In the second step, you can change the soil massif type from (1) Generated from Soil Samples to (2) Set of Soil Solids. After you confirm this step, the calculated coordinates of the soil massif appear. Image 02 shows this step in the Soil Massif dialog box.

Note: It should be noted that the "generated" status is canceled by this step; this causes, among other things, the connection to the soil samples to be split in order to allow for editing of the soil solids.

Step 3 - Editing Geometry of Soil Solids

You can now edit the soil solids and create the desired geometry of the terrain surface using all available and familiar tools in RFEM 6. You can see this step in Image 03.

The following image shows an example of the soil massif geometry created in compliance with Step 1 to Step 3.
