Compute

Computing the model

When computing, you have the option to compute one or multiple wall segments. The following options are available:

• Compute all walls: computes all wall segments that are sufficiently defined for a computation to commence.
• Compute current wall: computes all wall segments in the currently selected wall which are sufficiently defined for a computation to commence.
• Compute current section: computes only the selected wall segment.

A segment is computable if a wall section profile is assigned to it, and all of its surrounding topography and soils are defined.

For segmental walls, if reinforcements are not present in the wall segment then a conventional unreinforced analysis will be conducted.

Computation outcomes

The following outcomes can occur and will appear in the Segment Tree when a computation is conducted on a given wall segment:

• Computation complete successfully without warnings or failed checks
• Computation completed with warnings or failed checks present
• Computation could not be completed (errors present)

If errors, warnings or failed checks are present, you can click on Analysis Issues to see details regarding the problem(s).
