Drain Spacing

Determine the optimal layout of drainage after repeatedly analyzing drainage by changing the spacing.  

Applicable Modules:

From the Main Menu, select 1D Consolidation > Parametric Analysis > Drain Spacing

From the Command Line, type 'DefineDrainCTC' or 'DCTC'

Name

Title of the Parametric Analysis.

Reference Analysis Case

Select the Analysis Case for which Parametric Analysis will be performed. If the Analysis Case has not been previously defined, click  to define the Analysis Case.  

Select Soft Ground Surface

Select the Drain Property for the Parametric Analysis of the targeted ground. If the property has not been previously defined, click to define the property.
