Less manual setup. More time for engineering.Explore how nx GEOTECH Auto Modeling simplifies model preparation for excavation, slope, and
tunnel analysis—and how it can support your everyday engineering work.


Nov 24th 2026
Connexion Conference & Event Centre (Kuala Lumpur)

5 IEM-Approved CPD Hours (Full attendance required)



What You’ll Gain from This Forum

For geotechnical engineers: see how automation can reduce repetitive modelling.

For building and civil structural engineers: explore which routine ground checks your team could perform in-house.

  • Geotechnical model preparation

    For Geotechnical Engineers · Save Time

    Less repetitive model setup

    Reduce model preparation work when project conditions change:

    • Structure locations
    • Excavation depths and ground layers
    • Slope angles and heights
    • Tunnel supports and excavation stages

    Spend more time reviewing results and comparing design options.

  • Automated geotechnical modelling

    For Building & Civil Structural Engineers · Cost Savings

    Bring routine checks in-house

    Explore ground assessments your team could perform for building and infrastructure projects:

    • Excavation: Basic 2D models and ground displacement
    • Slopes: Safety factors and potential failure
    • Tunnels: Excavation-induced ground deformation

    Explore opportunities to reduce reliance on outsourced analysis.

    Also explore structural member forces considering nonlinear soil behaviour.

  • Excavation model in layered ground

    A Simpler Setup Workflow

    Four stages automated. Three user steps.

    Auto Modeling handles four stages of the conventional seven-stage workflow.

    Automated

    • Geometry
    • Meshing
    • Construction stages
    • Analysis case setup

    You control

    • Define materials
    • Set conditions
    • Run the analysis
  • Building, bridge and ground engineering model

    An Excavation Modelling Comparison

    About half the modelling time

    In one excavation example, an experienced user reduced model preparation time by approximately 52%.

    7 min 40 sec → 3 min 40 sec

    Less manual setup. More time for engineering.

    Results are specific to this example. Modelling time varies with project conditions and user experience.
