System Generation
WinTUBE 3D, developed by our partner FIDES DV-Partner GmbH, is a professional and interactive CAD pre-processor especially developed for the use in Tunnel projects and their analysis and design. It includes a lot of wizards to assist the user to define and carry out very easy tunneling-specific tasks. WinTUBE is 100% compatible with the ASE and TALPA solvers and will create a normal SOFiSTiK CDB database.

Capabilities:
- CAD-functionality
- Automatic intersection of structural volumes or structural surfaces,
- Extensive control of visibilities, named views
- Intelligent selection of objects
- Windows standard like: undo/redo, copy & paste, context sensitive menu, ...
- DXF-import, import of structures from an existing SOFiSTiK-database
- Numerous wizards f.e. for: tunnel-cross-sections, tunnel-junctions, construction stages, loading, file check,...
- Automatic mesh generation
- Structured grids and unstructured meshes may be mixed up, automatic detection of structural surfaces
- Functions for mesh enhancement of selected mesh regions, refinement- and compulsory points, ...
- Generation of excavation- or construction phases and loading
- Data generation for the SOFiSTiK program HYDRA for seepage or thermal analysis
- Generation of non-linear 2D und 3D-Interfaceelements,...
- Generation of 3D-Models by extrusion of any plain system or using the unstructured mesh generator for 3Dmeshes with tetrahedral elements
- Simulation of tension- and tubbing-hinges,
- Powerful generation of pile and pilecap systems in combination with volume elements
- FIDES-WinTUBE generates pure ASCII-files, simultaneous editing with FIDES-WinTUBE and TEDDY is possible
- Merging of multiple files, saving of subsystems,multiple copying
- ..and a lot more...
