Hi everyone.
Do you know if Optum 2G or 3G is a suitable tool for academic research of Geotechnical problems?
Although I have came across this FE software in a number of papers, I am not sure if it's the right tool. It seems to be more of a commercial software like PLAXIS, rather than academic and research software like ABAQUS.
Hamed Nuri don´t know if you got a solution already, but Optum now does offer an academic license, you just need to register with them using your institution email. However, there are limitation, I think it is to do with the number of soil layers you can create. Cheers.
@Bruna thank you for the answer. I've got the academic license. Though, I am not sure about the suitablity of this software for academic research.
Regards
Hamed Nuri it really depends what you are looking for and what you want to do. My understanding is that PLAXIS in special is a very robust geotechnical FEM software. The advantaged of these geotechnical software over a general FEM such as ABAQUS is obvious, they were designed specifically to solve geotechnical problems, so there are a bunch of things that are already tailored there. But since ABAQUS is more general it has less limitations, however it is much more user dependent.
