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.
