- General two or three-dimensional slope
geometry with multiple material layers.
- Choice of Bishop’s Simplified, Janbu
Simplified, Spencer and Morgenstern-Price (with a half-sine
interslice force function) methods of analysis.
- Mesh generator with three alternative
methods of interpolation, capable of creating general or
axisymmetric geometries.
- Simple, largely self-explanatory input
and graphic or keyboard-based editing.
- Use of scanned images to digitize
geometry cross-sections.
- Interpolation and copy features to
minimize the amount of data which needs to be supplied by the
user.

solution with the detailed output window.
- Possibility to use Digital Elevation
Model (DEM) files to represent the ground surface or
stratigraphic layers.
- Checking for data errors.
- Warnings for improperly specified
sliding surfaces and other conditions.
- Choice of Coulomb isotropic, Coulomb
anisotropic or non-linear (Hoek and Brown, 1981) material
strength models.
- Discontinuities (joints) with distinct
strength properties and piezometric conditions, which can be
specified to form parts of the sliding surface.
- Choice of pore-pressure ratios or
multiple piezometric surfaces.
