Tochnog Professional
Description
[Official Distributor Text]
Tochnog Professional is a Finite Element program offering a wide variety of geotechnical and mechanical options; modern material laws including the most recent rate independent and viscous hypoplasticity models; stress, temperature and groundwater pressure analysis; lagrangian and eulerian mesh in space; quasi-static and dynamic calculations; a full libary of isoparametric elements in 1D, 2D and 3D and also featuring typical structural elements like beams, interfaces, springs, etc.; geometry based boundary conditions; mesh independent postprocessing by selecting physical points, lines and surfaces; 2D and 3D mesh refinement; phased modelling stages and extensive parallelisation. Tochnog accepts user defined models in ABAQUS UMAT format.

Available Constitutive Models
Clay hypoplasticity is an advanced incrementally non-linear constitutive model based on critical state soil mechanics developed specifically for simulation of fine-grained materials.
SANISAND is an advanced elasto-plastic model based on a concept of rotational hardening incorporating the effects of fabric-dilatancy.
Sand hypoplastic model is an advanced incrementally non-linear constitutive model for sand, an outcome of an extensive research at Karlsruhe University in 1990's.
Barodesy is a constitutive model for granular media and does not use standard notations of elasto-plasticity, e.g. yield function, flow rule or plastic potential.
ISA is a mathematical extension of conventional hypoplastic models for soils to improve simulations of cyclic loading. It can be considered as a reformulation of the conventional intergranular strain theory by Niemunis and Herle (1997).
