I report my experieces on geotechnical sw:
when I read the update changes on the official website of sw I fill pain and I'm afraid.
One time i've read that the software (I don't remember if was phase or plaxis) multiply the property of structural elements instead divide that.
Yestarday my colleage shout about the different results between phase 2 v7 and v8 (same model) using double liner with interface (very big difference!).
Today someone told me that the result of MASW were wrong for some matter, but the results
were those.
I'm little tired: "million" of software, but one (original!!) that give a good reliability?
(basic assumption is that people don't have to use abaqus to design a silly retaining wall....)
Then the only thing that can save us is the experiences. Problem is not connected with cracked sw....
