Ground Grid Systems

Safety Flexibility Protection

The Ground Grid Systems module enables engineers to quickly and accurately design and analyze ground protection. Flexible design methodologies allow for quick auto-designed layouts or very detailed schemes. High efficient multi-core parallel calculation allows fast analysis of irregular large-scale renewable applications. Color-coded graphical plots provide impressive results.
Soil Analysis tools allow automatic generation of a two-layer soil model from soil measurement data, based on the Wenner four-pin method.
