EQuIS Geotech relies on some standard default reference values. A corresponding EDD, Geotech_Refvals_EDD.xlsx, is also available on the EarthSoft Community Center. This EDD contains all necessary reference values for EQuIS Geotech. As the Geotechnical_v2 format relies on these standard values, these reference values must be loaded prior to using the Geotechnical_v2 format.

Prior to using EQuIS Geotech, the reference values must first be loaded to the database. To do this:

1.Open Professional EDP.

2.Open the Geotech_refvals format in EDP.

3.Open the Geotech_Refvals_EDD.xlsx EDD.

4.Review loaded sections for errors or any desired modifications.

5.Create and Commit the EDD.
