PENTAGON-2D Overview

 

The organization of program

 

AUTOMESH : Mesh generation program

The creation function of element mesh from AutoCAD DXF file and the interactive working menu  in Autotmesh.

You can create mesh generation with various CAD functions, and can input material properties or loads in windows, and can work all jobs with viewing.

 

PEN2PRE : Input data checking program

PEN2PRE is almost similar with PEN2POST. But it cannot display the analysis result . It reads only the input file and show you a picture such as boundary condition, applied loads, material number, etc. according to the construction stages. Then, you can easily find the input errors. 

 

PEN2_DBX : 2D finite-element-analysis program                                    

1. There are three kinds of solvers, such as Frontal method, Skyline method or Block-skyline method. To excavate ground with Elasticity-Elastoplastic function, tunnel and/or embankment, saturation-unsaturation seepage and/or settlement can be analyzed. Also the solver has the many dynamic analysis features, such as eigen value analysis, earthquake spectrum analysis, transient time history analysis and ground motion analysis. And also according to the varying groundwater level, it can analyze the effective stress analysis in ground.

2. The complicated staged construction analysis can be possible, such as 'Excavation - Groundwater level changing - Settlements - Excavation - Groundwater level changing - Settlements - ...'. After the seepage analysis is applied, the obtained head-gradient is applied automatically as the seepage force. So, the coupling analysis is done automatically. 

3. When the concrete lining is analyzed, the tensile ground spring is removed automatically during the calculation in stiffness matrix. And then, if the tensile ground spring is varied as compression state, it is included again in stiffness matrix at next iteration. 

PEN2POST displays the analysis result as a graphic.

It displays various analysis results such as contouring and/or vectoring for the displacements, stresses, the failure rate of the plane strain  element, which the failure rate represents the approaching ratio of the plastic state, the member forces ( axial force, shear force, bending moment ) and/or stresses of the frame elements, the axial forces, stresses of the truss elements, hydraulic gradient, flow vector, flow rate, pore water pressure and total head of the plane strain element, of the plain strain element, the member forces of the spring element.
