Worked example for a flood protection embankment¶
- Step 1: Define the system
- Step 2: Create record
- Step 3: Generate FEM nodes and mesh
- Step 4: Assign z ordinates for the embankment foreland and hinterland
- Step 5: Assign z ordinates for the top of the embankment
- Step 6: Refine and optimise mesh in x-/y-direction
- Step 7: Assign soil numbers
- Step 8: Define boundary conditions
- Step 9: Refine mesh in z-direction
- Step 10: Assign soil properties
- Step 11: Model system
- Step 12: Evaluate potentials in "horizontal" planes
- Step 13: Evaluate potentials in section
- Step 14: Represent a cut-away system
- Step 15: Evaluate discharges
- Step 16: Remove the weak spot
