Reporting & Analysis Documentation
SETAF2018 provides an advanced reporting framework that not only delivers results but also documents all analyses and calculations in a clear and traceable manner. All engineering calculations are supported by tables, charts, visual sections, and explicit mathematical formulations, ensuring full transparency of the design process.
With its local reporting approach, each analysis step, input parameter, and calculation method is clearly presented. This allows engineers to confidently verify their designs and generate technically robust, transparent, and authority-ready reports for project stakeholders and regulatory submissions.
Terrain Modeling & 3D Geometry Creation
SETAF2018 provides advanced terrain modeling tools for creating project-specific topographic surfaces and 3D geometries. Digital terrain models can be generated using elevation data, cross-sections, and surface definitions that accurately represent real site conditions.
The generated terrain models can be directly integrated with foundation systems, shoring structures, and slope analyses, allowing all geotechnical evaluations to be performed within a unified 3D environment. This approach minimizes geometric inconsistencies and improves overall design reliability.
Laboratory Testing & Test Reporting
