Geotechnica is a small set of software tools useful for geotechnical engineering. All of the software is distributed as source code under reasonably liberal licensing agreements. The focus of the project is twofold: 1. to provide working examples of various techniques in common and not-so-common geotechnical analyses, and 2. to promote a software engineering methodology for geotechnical engineering emphasizing software reuse, maintainability, understandability, correctness, portability and interoperability.
Most of the Geotechnica software is not commercially useable at this time, and there are no current plans for commercial development of the suite. Development of the software proceeds on a time available basis. Parties interested in funding development of Geotechnica are most welcome to contact the author.
Much of the more interesting bits of Geotechnica require other software packages in order to compile and run. For example, a simple API for fast fourier transforms is provided. The actual transform is currently performed by the FFTW library. Any other convenient library could be used instead, or an fft could be hand coded if necessary.
All of the accessory libraries necessary for compiling and using Geotechnica are equipped with liberal source licences.
