GGU-UNDERPIN: "Special preferences" group box
In the "Special preferences" group box of the start dialog box of the "System/Analyse" menu item you can specify whether any area loads should be included in an earth pressure redistribution. You may "Redistribute ep to toe base" and not, as is usual, to the load transition point.
Furthermore, you have the option of having the analysis performed according to "2nd order theory". This entails iteration, which increases computation time.
