The program system Pro/MechaniCa is a specific software product designed for solving of different kinds of technical problems in general engineering. We were looking for usage not only in the engineering but also in the terramechanical area. We realized a simulation loading of the soil with a rigid circular table and after the loading we calculated deformations and stresses under the table using FEM (Finite Element Method). This article shows a specific exploitation program Pro/Mechanica in an unconventional area as well as in the agricultural area.

Keywords: program product; FEM (Finite Element Method); Pro, Mechanica; deformation and stress of soil; modelling
