Modular Expansion When You Need It
Start with DeepEX 2D and scale up with a range of optional modules:
➕ 2D FEM Analysis Module
Run finite element simulations for advanced soil-structure interaction. Model tunnels, seismic effects, time-dependent construction stages, and more.
➕ Gravity & Abutment Walls / MSE Walls Module
Design quay walls, pile-supported abutments, and reinforced backfills. Analyze wave and seismic effects on waterfront structures.
➕ AI Assistant Module
Use AI to receive suggestions for wall types and supports, auto-generate models, and get in-app guidance.
➕ 3D Frame Analysis Module
Expand into 3D by converting your 2D cut sections into full 3D excavation models—perfect for real-world geometry and cost estimation.
➕ 3D Finite Element Analysis (3D FEM) Module
An advanced FEM engine that allows you to perform full 3D analysis of your excavation including tunnels, seismic effects, and ground-structure interaction.
