Tochnog Professional is a Finite Element Analysis (FEA) solver developed and distributed by Tochnog Professional Company. It can be used for free, both for academic work and commercially. The source is not made publicly available however. The software is specializes in geotechnical applications, but also has options for civil engineering and mechanical engineering. Input data is provided by means of an input file, containing all information that is needed for performing a calculation. Parts of the input file can be generated by external pre-processors. Output is generated by several generated output files. These can either be used in external post-processors, or the files can directly be used for interpretation of calculation results.
The program is notable because it is used by many universities are companies around the world, please see the example calculations and references. Also it is a similar program as described in several other wikipedia finite element overview pages.
History
editDevelopment of the Tochnog Professional program started 1997 by Dennis Roddeman. The programming is done completely in the c++ programming language. The program is setup as a batch program, and should be started from the command line. In 2019 Dennis Roddeman started Tochnog Professional Company, which presently is the owner of the Tochnog Professional program. Since 2019 the program is listed on the soilmodels research site[1][2] with over 2000 research members both as generic purpose program and also as incremental driver. It is listed in the geotechpedia geotechnics programs overview site. Many peer reviewed scientific papers discuss usage of the Tochnog Professional program, see the reference list below.
