Overview
This tutorial demonstrates how to
model and perform analysis for a
steel pipe-reinforced multi-step
grouting method.
• The steep tubes are modelled

using beam element that are
embedded in a solid element
which is acting as the grout.
• The start files includes the

geometry profile, attributes,

analysis will be shown in the
Output Window. Especially,
one needs to be very cautious
about warning messages,
because these messages
indicate that the analysis
results may not be correct. The
model is automatically saved
before the analysis. The result
is saved as binary file(*.TA*) in
the same folder as the model.
The detail analysis information
is also saved in a text
file(*.OUT).
