Familiarization with the programs is very quick
because of the consistent and user friendly Windows
interface of all programs. Each program is provided
with easy-to understand user manuals. A support
hotline is also available for technical assistance.
All programs are WYSIWYG (What You See is What
You Get), ensuring ophisticated report quality
output in Windows true-type fonts. Color output
and bitmap graphics are supported. Output from
all GGU programs can be "cut and paste"
into other Windows programs such as word processors
and spreadsheets.
Data Import, Export, Sharing and Exchange
ASCII data import and export allows exchange
of data between GGU programs, and also allows
input of data from some non-GGU programs. This
is a considerable advantage for both time-saving,
and ensuring accurate transfer of information.
To use relevant project data in other GGU programs,
data input can be saved, using an ASCII interface,
in a GGU project data format. Data therefore needs
to be entered only once. Changes in input data
will therefore flow through to all programs, eliminating
the danger of inconsistent input parameters for
different programs.
Furthermore, for some GGU programs, the ouptut
from one program can be used as input for another
program. For example, porewater pressure information
generated in the groundwater modelling program,
GGU-SS
FLOW2D can be directly imported into the slope
stability program, GGU-STABILITY.
Similar data compatibility exists between the
programs GGU-STABILITY,
GGU-RETAIN
and GGU-UNDERPIN.
This feature can be also used to import data
from an ASCII file generated by other (non-GGU)
programs. Typical examples include importing of
groundwater information for the groundwater modelling
program GGU-SS
FLOW2D, input of finite element meshes in
the slab design program GGU-SLAB,
and topographic information for the modelling
and graphing package GGU-GEO
GRAPH.
CAD support
All GGU programs include a MiniCAD module. Using
the MiniCAD module, all program output can be
enhanced with graphical elements such as lines,
rectangles, circles, splines, text, bitmap images
or DXF drawings. The MiniCAD input can be saved
in a separate file which can be loaded into any
other GGU program.
Copy and paste functions allow very flexible
transfer of all output into other Windows applications,
such as Word Processors. The pasted object can
be scaled to fit the available space.
Geotechnical Software - Test software
You can thoroughly evaluate GGU software online
at our testdrive before you buy.
Contact Civilserve or our international
representatives for further technical and
sales information, including individual product
sheets for each program. The GGU suite of software
is available in multi-user or single-user versions,
and is attractively priced.
