GGU-UPLIFT: "New" menu item

You can enter a new system using this menu item. You will see the following dialog box:

In the first group box the radio buttons are used to specify which safety concept to use for analysis. The hydraulic heave analysis after Aulbach/Ziegler can be activated below this.

If you wish, you can enter a project identification, which will then be used in the General legend.

Furthermore, you can specify whether analysis is to be performed using absolute heights (not possible for Aulbach/Ziegler). If you activate the "Use absolute heights" check box, the layer height input will be in absolute coordinates (e.g. in m AD). Otherwise, "Top of system" corresponds to 0.0 and all depth input is positive downwards. The absolute terrain elevations are entered in the "Edit/Top of system" dialog box.

If you have changed to one of the partial safety factor concepts, a dialog box will appear, after confirming your input, in which you can edit the partial safety factors. This dialog box can also be accessed via the menu item "Edit/Partial safety factors". Verifications and safety factors can be modified at any time using the above mentioned menu item.
