Paratie Plus 23.0.3

Paratie Plus 23.0.3, the leading software for the analysis and testing in seismic areas of flexible retaining structures, modeled on finite elements in a nonlinear field.

What's new in Paratie Plus 2023
Paratie Plus 2023 is the first main version signed by Harpaceas.

The main new features of the new version are:
- Introduction/management of input data in tabular format: we start with the tie rods
- Concentrated strip load, described by a single coordinate and force value per linear metre
- Definition of a real section for the Cslip constraint and automatic calculation of the relative stiffness to be passed to the solver
- Possibility to relate the input data and the results of the slope stability analyses
- Specific design assumptions for the pull-out verification of the tie rods and the global stability verification
- Visualization of the seismic thrust when choosing Automatic Procedure
- Display of the results relating to a previous phase of your choice
- Optimization of the protection system to avoid manually moving the license from one PC to another
- New virtual network key that does not require physical USB support (for network key licenses)

In Italy as well as in many Countries worldwide, several designers rely on Paratie Plus in their retaining wall projects. Stemming from a cooperation, since 1985, with professor Roberto Nova from Politecnico di Milano, Paratie Plus is a non linear analysis program conceived to model the soil-structure interaction of a flexible retaining wall, by means of the popular subgrade reaction method, a simple yet widely accepted approach in current design practice as well as by most of design standard worldwide, including Eurocodes. Thanks to its effectiveness, Paratie Plus is a simple yet accurate retaining wall design tool. In most cases, a Paratie Plus analysis can be sufficient to completely define a wall design. However, even in very complex situations, Paratie Plus may provide valuable design information, at least in the preliminary design stages: if required, selected final layout will be more thoroughly analyzed, with more advance but complex programs such as FLAC.

Ce.A.S (Structural Analysis Center) is an engineering company that for over 30 years has successfully linked its design and structural calculations to civil engineering, infrastructure, industrial and geotechnical engineering. Ce.AS is protagonist in the engineering scenario also for the great experience gained in the direction of work, in geotechnical and geomechanical consulting and in the realization and distribution of calculation programs in their areas of intervention.
Harpaceas was founded in 1990 in Milan to offer itself to the construction sector as a technological partner of excellence for the entire life cycle of a work: from conception, design, construction to management and maintenance. The company has always positioned itself at the intersection between the construction industry and ICT. The customer base is more than 6,000 units and within it there are the most important realities belonging to the construction chain.
