Geologic Model Transforming Method (GMTM) for numerical analysis modeling in geotechnical engineering

The finite element mesh needs to coincide with the consistency principle and the geometrical property principle. In consideration of the difference in data structure, the geologic model can not be directly taken as the numerical model (Wang et al. 2004). To satisfy the regulation of the finite element mesh, the new modeling method presented in this paper emphasis on the process of transforming geologic model into numerical model.
