Description
The New Austrian Tunnelling Method (NATM) is a widely adopted approach that leverages the natural strength of the surrounding rock mass through controlled deformation and timely support. Accurately capturing the interaction between ground and support systems is essential to ensure safety and performance in complex geological settings.
This webinar will demonstrate how 2D and 3D finite element simulations in GTS NX can effectively model the staged excavation, stress redistribution, and support installation central to NATM. Attendees will gain insights into realistic simulation workflows, and how ground-structure interaction influences tunnel behavior and design outcomes.
