The software makes use of advanced searching methods to determine the critical failure surface.
Slope stability problems in geotechnical and geo-environmental engineering involve the solution of equilibrium equations of force and moment.
The classic Bishops, Sarma, Ordinary, Spencers, Morgenstern-Price, GLE, and US Army Corps of Engineers methods are implemented.
The newer stress-based techniques use the finite element method in order to calculate more detailed information related to the stresses in the slope.
The geometry is simply entered as regions which may be drawn, pasted in from Excel, or imported from AutoCAD DXF files.
