Welcome to the online demonstration of CandeCAD Pro!

Here you can view CandeCAD Pro in action. Note that it may take a while to download the graphical images so please be patient. For a quick overview of CandeCAD Pro please “click” on E-Demo 1 below. For more advanced users and for detailed demonstrations for creating a finite element mesh please “click” on E-Demo 2. Lastly, please note that CandeCAD Pro is supplied with an extensive built-in Help File to get the user started quickly and easily. It incorporates detailed steps and graphical illustrations and instructions for each command.


CandeCAD Pro Example Incremental Results

Overview:
CandeCAD Pro Overview gives a quick look at the CandeCAD Pro command buttons and their functionality. It is an ideal introduction to CandeCAD Pro for first time users.

E-Demo 1:
E-demo 1 illustrates example steps for setting up a finite element mesh and importing the results for a 3 130 mm O.D. steel pipe of thin wall design installed in 6.0 m deep benched trench with sloping sides at the top of the trench. A total of 7 different soil material zones are used to represent the two-layered in situ soil, bedding, soilcrete (flowable fill) support, structural backfill, and two-layered embankment material. The construction process is simulated by installing the pipe and placing the backfill soils in 14 construction increments.

Purpose: E-demo 1 illustrates example steps for creating a finite element mesh and presents example program output. It is not intended to cover all the steps involved in creating the finite element mesh but merely to present example steps of the set up procedure. Refer to E-Demo 2 for more detailed illustrations.

E-Demo 2:
E-demo 2 illustrates detailed steps for setting up a finite element mesh and importing the results for a 3 130 mm O.D. steel pipe of thin wall design installed in 6.0 m deep benched trench installation. A total of 4 different soil material zones are used to represent the in situ soil, bedding, structural backfill and embankment material. The construction process is simulated by installing the pipe and placing the backfill soils in 7 construction increments.

Purpose: E-demo 2 illustrates detailed steps for creating a finite element mesh consisting of steps for: 1) mesh design, 2) assign intelligence, 3) conduct analysis and 4) import results. It further presents examples of program output that can be displayed. It is intended to cover most of the steps involved in creating a finite element mesh.
