2D Limit Equilibrium Analysis for Slopes
Probabilistic Analysis
Go above and beyond Latin-Hypercube sampling. Speed up your computations with our machine-learning-based Response Surface or generate thousands of what-if scenarios with a spatial variability analysis.
Supports
Reinforce your model with a geosynthetic from our manufacturer library, import your pile from RSPile, or define your own support. Slide2 comes with an extensive library of support types including Retaining Walls (EFP) and Launched Soil Nails.
Slide2 across Applications
Analyze the slope stability of your dam or embankment. Perform a transient ground water analysis to analyze the transient pore pressures and their impact.
Improve efficiency using the soil profile feature to input your original material geometry as a base template for excavations.
Made for simplicity and complexity, you can either use a simple water table for your model or the built-in FEM seepage engine for when you need more control.
Create multiple scenarios in one file to analyze different sections of your mine. Or run the model in Slide3 and compute your Slide2 sections within it.
Model rock or soil slopes and perform stability analysis to identify the critical failure surfaces. Analyze a wide variety of slopes including Mechanically Stabilized Earth walls, retaining walls and reinforced soil structures.
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.
Explore the latest features in Slide2
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.
Get full flexibility in the definition of your anisotropic material. Assign any material strength type as a joint or base. Define an angle range for anisotropy or assign one or multiple anisotropic surfaces to the same material.
Define your own geosynthetic manufacturer library and share a read-only copy with your team to ensure everyone is using the same support properties. Once added to Slide2, you will be able to access it from all Slide2 files on your machine.
