Slope > Important notes

To use the software in a correct manner, it is necessary to respect some rules, listed below:

1. Reference system: the slope must be defined in the positive quadrant of a Cartesian reference system X, Y.

2. The Y dimension must be increased from left to right.

3. The sections inserted according to other reference systems than the one imposed may be mirrored using the command Mirror.

4. The distance between the minimum ordinate Y of the profile's vertices and the depth of the bedrock constitutes a constraint on the research of the safety factor (will not be taken into consideration the sliding surfaces that cut the aforementioned).

5. The geotechnical characteristics of the layers that make up the slope to be examined should be assigned starting from the upper layer to the lower one.
