• This tutorial identifies the soil–
structure interaction by analyzing
construction stage of 3D tunnel
excavation and comparing differential
settlement of adjacent building.
• Part 1: 3D Terrain Generation
How to import DXF files and excel ta
bles to make accurate 3D terrain.
Part 2: Tunnel Collapse Analysis
Import 3D solid tunnel and loads for
tunnel failure analysis.
•Part 3: Soil–Pile–Tunnel Interaction
Import MXT files of a building from
midas GEN to analyze the differential
settlement during the excavation of a
tunnel.
