When you pay for a license, you fund future improvements. When you use a cracked "full full", you steal from a small, specialized developer—not a faceless corporation. geo5 full full

| Mistake | Consequence | Fix | |--------|------------|-----| | Using Mohr-Coulomb for soft clay | Overestimates strength | Switch to Soft Soil or Creep | | Not setting initial K0 stress | Wrong lateral pressures | Run "Initial stress" stage in FEM | | Mesh too coarse in FEM | Non-conservative settlements | Refine around structures | | Forgetting to group anchors | Unrealistic forces | Use "Group anchor" option | | Ignoring groundwater | Overly high FoS | Define phreatic line or seepage | Fine Ltd
