Built-in Groundwater Seepage Analysis

Includes a Finite Element Seepage Analysis tool. Automatically generate your mesh and compute your steady state or transient analysis without the need for separate programs.

• Multi-modal Optimization (MMO)
  

  Get more insight into your models by searching for more than one critical failure surface. With MMO you can seek out the top three most critical failure surfaces at once and consider them in your analysis.

• Weak Layer Algorithm
  

  All you need to do is define all of your weak layer polylines and Slide2 will determine which combination of weak layers is the most critical.

• Surface Altering Optimization
  

  This local optimization algorithm, exclusive to Rocscience software, runs on the critical failure surface after the initial global search and is the final push to find the lowest factor of safety.
