End-to-end BIM workflow for geotechnical engineering – faster, simpler, more reliable
Combine geological model, mass determination, planning of excavations, structural analysis, design and plan creation on the basis of a data model in Revit with FIDES software.

Soil layer model

• Importing and editing DTMs
• Use of drilling profiles and/or DTM
• Library of standard-compliant soil materials
• Import Leapfrog Works models

Creating excavation pits

• Create excavations based on existing elements such as foundation slabs, inclined slabs, retaining walls, foundations and SBIM elements
• Predefined excavation families, including slopes and berms
• Link excavation geometry to foundation slabs or 2D lines
• Model excavation backfilling

Retaining Walls

• Dialog-based creation of parametric retaining wall systems
• Support for all common wall types: soldier pile walls, sheet pile walls, bored pile walls and diaphragm walls
• Flexible definition of elevations and elevation profiles
• Automatic adaptation to digital terrain models
• Parametric anchor levels and walers
• Detailed component schedules and quantity take-offs

Drawing Generation

• Elevation markers
• Slope and angle dimensions
• Material labels
• Slope hatching
• Automatic dimensioning of key excavation coordinates
• Longitudinal sections for curved elements or alignments, applicable to all Revit, SBIM and FIT elements as well as Revit families

Calculation of cut and fill

• Quantity take-off considering construction phases
• Support for different construction phases

Connection to FIDES geotechnics structural analysis programmes

• Export of 2D sections
• Reimport of the calculation results in the form of components such as sheet pile walls, bored pile walls, soldier pile walls, anchors, walings,…

Design of Alignment-Based Structures

• Fully parameterisable components including Cross slope, variable component heights
• Unfolding of curved component – curved longitudinal section
• Cutting at stations

The FIDES Ground Failure programme allows ground failure verifications to be carried out quickly in accordance with DIN 4017 or DIN EN 1997-1 (Eurocode EC7) with a user-friendly input interface. All common foundation types (rectangular, circular and strip foundations) can be verified. The programme takes into account any number of soil layers and the groundwater level.

Increasingly dense building development means that construction projects increasingly require predictions of expected ground deformation and settlements in the area of neighbouring structures. DIN 4019 offers good comparability with other calculation methods and the calculation can be easily checked with a manual calculation. The calculation method is significantly faster than FE methods. FIDES-Setting 2.5D makes it possible to combine various foundations in the ground plan to form a foundation group and to analyse their mutual influence.
