Top 15 SIGMA/W Alternative and Similar Softwares | Dec 2024

SIGMA/W performs stress and deformation analyses of geotechnical, civil and mining works. It can perform a simple linear elastic deformation analysis or a highly sophisticated soil-structure interaction analysis with non-linear material models and coupling to seepage analysis.

Many constitutive soil models enable you to represent a wide range of soils or structural materials. In addition, SIGMA/W models pore-water pressure generation and dissipation in response to external loads. With SIGMA/W you can analyze almost any stress or deformation problem you will encounter.
