GEO5 2026: New Features for Geotechnical Engineers
The new GEO5 2026 release is coming soon.
The new GEO5 2026 version will be available soon.
There are plenty of changes: a new application, custom geometry for retaining walls, improved point cloud workflows, enhanced calculations, and more. Let's look at them in order.
Drawing Editor
The new application lets you create print-ready drawings directly from GEO5.
You can add text, dimensions, legends, and import images and other graphics.
Scale is supported: drawings can be shown at an exact scale or fitted to the viewport.
Point Cloud Module Redesigned
The module now works as a standalone application with expanded features:
- modeling staged construction;
- AI-powered automatic registration and merging of point clouds;
- direct data exchange with Stratigraphy;
- importing ASCII data (TXT, ASC, etc.);
- improved project management and graphical output.
Excavation Support — Corrosion and Interlock Stiffness
The software now accounts for the effects of corrosion and sheet pile interlock stiffness under EN 1993-5.
This provides more realistic modeling of long-term structural behavior and more reliable calculations.
Slope Stability (FEM) — Strength Varying with Depth
Undrained soil shear strength (cu) can now be defined as a function of depth.
This improves the accuracy of slope stability analyses and calculations for structures in clay soils.
Cantilever Retaining Wall — Custom Shapes
Users can now define custom retaining wall geometry, including nonstandard sections used in different countries.
FEM — New Analysis Tools
- Calculation of internal forces along an arbitrary line using a "virtual beam."
- New steel and composite section types.
- Additional result outputs: elastic modulus, mobilized shear strength, and more.
Pile Group
Multiple piles can now be selected and edited together.
Stratigraphy — Faster Modeling and Data Integration
- A new modeling workflow without a "master borehole"—layers and boundaries can be defined directly.
- Importing maps or documentation in PDF format.
- Importing data in AGS format.
- Creating custom hatches for different soils and rocks.
Important
With the transition to GEO5 2026, perpetual licenses will no longer be offered.
However, until the end of October, you can still purchase a perpetual module or bundle at a reduced price.
