Frew is a tool that allows users to perform accurate simulations for retaining walls. It also provides them with partial factor analysis. Frew enables engineers to define and solve even the most complex embedded retaining wall design problems quickly. Easy to set up and use, Frew is relied upon by leading engineering firms around the world.

With this application, engineers can easily define and solve complex issues related to the design of retaining walls.

Frew has been developed with a model wizard to enable the user to set up the problem quickly and Frew automatically generates nodes for the user based on level inputs. Advanced input features are also available such as the batch testing feature which allow the user to compare the performance to the retaining wall at different toe levels.

Frew checks the stability of cantilever and propped retaining walls using the Limit Equilibrium analysis methodology. Using Soil Structure Interaction, Frew predicts the displacement, shear forces, and bending moments of the wall. With this software, engineers can calculate the required wall embedment length using a choice of methods. Frew offers quick problem setup and revision with a unique stage ‘memory’ feature. It enables users to model sheet pile corrosion by varying the stiffness down the wall.
