For over 30 years, DC-Software has been delivering comprehensive and user-friendly solutions for foundation engineering. Our software supports geotechnical engineers in the calculation, design, and dimensioning of foundation and retaining structures. With an extensive soil mechanics program portfolio, users can efficiently record geotechnical parameters, visually analyze subsoil investigations, and generate insightful graphical evaluations.

In 2024, company founders Dr. Armin Doster and Axel Christmann stepped back from day-to-day operations. Since then, DC-Software has become part of the ALLPLAN Group, ensuring the continued development and availability of its trusted solutions. With the release of ALLPLAN 2026, DC programs are fully integrated into the FRILO structural engineering product portfolio under the name FRILO Geotechnics.

FRILO Geotechnics Concept Edition

A set of applications for calculating slope stability and safety against ground failure, settlement calculations, and the analysis and design of various foundation types—shallow foundations, single piles, pile groups. Automatically performs engineering checks and verifications consistent with recognized European standards (Eurocodes) and design approaches. Generates transparent, clearly structured calculation reports, ideal for internal design reviews, client handovers, and building permit submissions.

FRILO Geotechnics Professional Pit Edition

In addition to the functionality of  Concept Edition,  Professional Pit Edition also includes applications for geotechnical engineers and structural designers who frequently work on excavation pits, temporary works, and staged ground-support design. Allows engineers to check temporary conditions and verify pit stability sequentially, aligning calculations directly with site construction phases. Fully supports recognized geotechnical design approaches and verifications that comply with European engineering standards (Eurocodes). Generates transparent, clearly structured calculation reports, ideal for internal design reviews, client handovers, and building permit submissions.

FRILO Geotechnics Professional Retaining Edition

In addition to the functionality of  Concept Edition, Professional Retaining Edition also includes applications for companies that require dedicated retaining-wall verification. Allows engineers to perform analysis and design of various wall geometries, explicitly targeting cantilevered and gravity retaining walls, as well as Gabion and other layered retentions, reinforced soil and geosynthetics. Programs perform complete internal and external stability checks under active and passive earth pressure loads. The applications provide verifications for overturning, sliding, and bearing resistance. Fully supports recognized geotechnical design approaches and verifications that comply with European engineering standards (Eurocodes). Generates transparent, clearly structured calculation reports, ideal for internal design reviews, client handovers, and building permit submissions.
