Sensitivity analysis plays a crucial role in geotechnical projects by identifying the influence of different ground and structural parameters on model outputs. The High-Performance Cloud Computing tool for Sensitivity Analysis in DAARWIN enables engineers to efficiently evaluate design options, optimise parameters, and reduce over-design risks during both design and construction stages.
DAARWIN integrates Finite Element (FE) models with real project data, leveraging a parallel high-performance cloud-computing architecture capable of running hundreds of machines simultaneously. This enables thousands of calculations to be performed efficiently, dramatically reducing computational time and delivering rapid insights. Sensitivity analysis also provides key information to determine which parameters should be prioritised for calibration in potential future backanalysis, improving overall workflow efficiency and accuracy.
The fully digital approach centralises all data, enabling visualisation and comparison of sensitivity analysis results across different scenarios. DAARWIN empowers teams to make informed decisions by providing a clear understanding of parameter influence and its effect on project outcomes.
