Analysis scenarios, seepage
and rapid drawdown in Slope

Static, seismic, before and after works, with and without reinforcements: each check becomes a tab of the same project, with its own data, its own Undo and its own results. A new scenario is created in one click as a copy, or already set up as static, seismic or pre-works.

The comparison table puts method, earthquake, water table, works, minimum F_s and required F_s side by side, highlighting the outcome and the most critical scenario; “Recompute all” updates every tab at once. The report comes out as one document, with a summary and a chapter per scenario, and the DXF is exported per scenario or in a single file. Everything is saved in one project (.stapx).

Assign the permeability to the soil layers and Slope solves the finite element steady-state seepage: phreatic surface, flow lines, equipotentials, flow rate and exit gradient with the factor of safety against piping. One click turns the result into the pore pressure grid of the stability analysis.

Boundary conditions come from the water table, but every boundary segment can be changed by clicking it in the drawing: fixed head, no flow, seepage face, drain, infiltration. Results are checked against exact solutions and literature cases (Charny, Slide2, XSLOPE), and the comparisons are published in the manual.

Besides the desktop version, Slope is also available on GeoStru AI, pay-per-use straight from the browser, with nothing to install. They are two separate versions and we keep developing both.
