Our MissionThe goal is to create a theoretical model that can determine the maximum holding capacity of a certain anchor in a given environment. The user of the program have to be able to define a certain geometrical anchor shape and the soil in which the anchor will be used. Based on these parameters the holding capacity of this anchor will be calculated. In the model it is assumed that only conventional anchors are used. So the modeling of drag embedment anchors, and anchors with VLA blades are beyond the scope of the model to be created. Also only soil with clay characteristics wil be able to model; sand and rocks will not be included in the model. The results of the model are based on calculations made in time domain. Herefore the main model is supported by four submodels:
