InitialPhase

Initial phase object.

Property	Long name	Unit	Description
Name	Name	-	Name of the initial phase.
Comments	Comments	-	Comments on the initial phase.
UserFeatures	UserFeatures	-	UserFeatures of the initial phase.
Number	Number	-	Number of the initial phase.
Identification	Identification	-	Identifier of the initial phase.
PreviousPhase	Previous phase	-	The phase that will take place before this phase.
ShouldCalculate	Should calculate	-	True The initial phase will be calculated. False The initial phase will not be calculated.
DeformCalcType	Deformation calculation type	-	K0 procedure This calculation type can be used to define the initial stresses for the model, taking into account the loading history of the soil. Gravity loading The phase will be calculated using a plastic calculation, in which initial stresses are generated based on the volumetric weight of the soil. Flow only The phase will be calculated using no effective stresses. Field stress This calculation type can be used to define a homogeneous initial stress state in the model, taking into account a rotation of principal stresses. This might be relevant for applications in deep soil or rock layers where the formation of these layers in the geological history has caused a rotation of principal stresses (shearing).
TimeInterval	Time interval	Time	Total time period considered in the initial phase.
PorePresCalcType	Pore pressure calculation type	-	Phreatic Direct generation of steady-state pore pressures from phreatic level and cluster-related conditions. Steady state groundwater flow Flow calculation to determine steady-state pore pressures and phreatic level based on hydraulic conditions. Input of soil permeability is required.
Solver	Solver	-	Picos Multicore indirect Pardiso Multicore direct Classic Single core indirect
MaxCores	Maximum cores to use	-	Maximum number of processor cores that will be used during the calculation of this phase by multicore solvers.
SpecialOption	SpecialOption	-	To trigger a particular event or action at the beginning of the calculation phase based on the value of this parameter.
MaxStepsStored	Maximum steps stored	-	Maximum number of calculation steps that will be saved.
LogInfo	Log information	-	Information on the feedback given by the kernel after calculation.
FirstStep	First step	-	Index of the first calculation step of the initial phase.
LastStep	Last step	-	Index of the last calculation step of the initial phase.
EstimatedEndTime	Estimated end time	Time	An estimation of the accumulated time at the end of the initial phase that is to be calculated.
CalculationResult	Calculation result	-	Not calculated The phase has not been calculated yet. OK The phase has been calculated without an error. Failed The phase has been calculated, but contains an error.
DesignApproach	Design approach	-	Design approach to be used in this phase.
