The 3D modeling capability of the SETAF2018 software stands out as its most significant strength for geotechnical engineers. It offers a user-friendly interface equipped with both drafting and reporting tools. With SETAF2018, bearing capacity and settlement calculations for shallow foundations can be performed and reported with great ease, in full compliance with the TBDY 2018 (Turkish Building Earthquake Code). Furthermore, the software provides a highly intuitive experience for ground improvement projects—such as reinforced and unreinforced bored piles, jet grouting, and deep mixing (DMS) columns—through its advanced 3D modeling environment. It demonstrates exceptional performance across foundations with diverse geometries. SETAF2018 also executes the slope stability analyses required in modern geotechnical projects. Additionally, the SETAF2018 retaining structures module allows for the modeling of reinforced concrete shear wall systems or piled structures through its 3D Wall Group tool.

SETAF2018 is a highly comprehensive software that stands out in geotechnical engineering applications, particularly due to its advanced 3D modeling capabilities. Its ability to realistically model diverse soil and foundation conditions enables a more robust evaluation of projects. Thanks to its user-friendly interface, both the drafting and reporting processes can be executed practically and efficiently. Moreover, the software allows project drawings that might typically take days to be completed within hours; even during revision requests, all drawings can be regenerated in a short time through rapid updates on the 3D model. Furthermore, having all modules—including excavation support, slope stability, foundation engineering, ground improvement, and liquefaction—integrated under a single structure with a unified file system significantly reduces the complexity of project management processes.
