GEOTECHNICAL FEM SOLVER

Check a geotechnical calculation fast,
right in your browser

A real FEM model — Hardening Soil, active/passive pressures, sheet piles — for the engineer who wants a quick sanity check, not a full project with thousands of dollars in licenses. Validated against 391 automated checks.

01 / WHY JOINTLIB

An account that's yours, a solver that's real

01

It's yours, not your employer's

Firms carry different licenses — one has Robot, another Advance Design, another some geotechnical package. When you change employers, your skills stay, but the access disappears. With a personal JointLib account, you keep the same tools no matter where you work — you don't depend on what your current employer bought.

02

A real FEM solver, not just a checklist of code clauses

Most Eurocode AI assistants check formulas and compliance. JointLib runs an actual finite-element solver — Hardening Soil model, nonlinear soil behavior — not just closed-form calculations from a lookup table.

03

Right in your browser, nothing to install

No machine license, no hardware dongle, no company VPN. Open the page, enter your data, get your result.

04

Validated, not just "probably correct"

391 checks compared against independent reference solutions, 74 of them against published sources. See the comparisons below — not just a promise.

02 / EVIDENCE

We publish what works — and what doesn't

391 automated checks run on every change to the solver. 74 of them compare directly against published sources — the official constitutive-model manual, technical papers, and a real laboratory test (Hostun sand, tested at the University of Grenoble).

A real construction case — a 32 m triple-anchored excavation wall (Berlin, Schweiger 2002)

The difference between "approximately right" and "right".

We also publish what doesn't work — a solver that only shows successes isn't credible to a skeptical engineer; one that publishes its own limits is.

03 / QUESTIONS

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a powerful computer or installed software?

No — it runs in the browser, on any laptop. No license, no hardware dongle, no install.

What happens to my account if I change employers?

Nothing — the account is yours, not the firm's. You keep access to exactly the same tools, wherever you work.

How accurate is the solver?

391 automated checks run on every change, 74 compared directly against published sources — constitutive-model manuals, technical papers, a real laboratory test. We publish what doesn't work too, not just the successes. See all 391 checks →

Which soil models does it cover?

Mohr-Coulomb, Hardening Soil, HS-small, Soft Soil Creep, Modified Cam-Clay — the same advanced constitutive models used in major geotechnical software.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes, monthly subscription, no commitment — cancel from your account anytime.

Are my projects private?

Yes, private by default. You can choose to take screenshots and show off a project publicly, but that's a manual action on your part, not default visibility.

Ready to check your first calculation?
