Can the sentence “The analysis of the soils forces acting on...” be revised as “The analysis of the soils forces acting on..”?

The analysis…must be simplified to obtain…

Both of the other ones sound a bit awkward to me, the second one moreso than the first. “Making simplifications” is something that you, the scientist, are doing, but the second sentence implies that the analysis is doing it, which doesn’t really make sense.

The first one makes sense, I think, but sounds a bit awkward to me. Mostly because “made” is not really a verb that makes sense for an analysis, I think.

I agree with Mariah. Both sentences are tongue twisters, but the second really leaves the tracks. I can’t determine from either whether simplifications are required prior to the analysis (the data) or if it is the process itself which is to be simplified.

Neither one would fall under the heading of good, clear, effective, and accurate communication.

How about this….In order to obtain a result some simplification is required when analysing the forces in operation when an impacting (or beaching) ship hits soil.
