We define the geometry of the excavation model Each excavation step is separated by a geometric line The strut is define

by a fixed end anchor in our model The sheet pile wall is defined by a plate

The soil parameters ,the sheet pile parameter and strut parameters are entered in material parameters and assigned to the respective material type (Mohr-coloumb)

Initial stage we set the ground water level at 4 m below NGL

In Excavation step 1 to 2m below NGL we activate sheet pile

In excavation step 2 till 4m below NGL, we activate the strut at 1.5m below NGL

In excavation step 3 till 6m below NGL we lower the groundwater level to 6m below NGL
