Introduction to the User Guide

This part of the manual contains the primary program reference guide for the software. The following topics are described:

• the graphical user interface,
• setting up and solving a problem
  • specifying the problem geometry,
  • setting the analysis mode (long or short term, translational or rotational),
  • setting material properties,
  • modelling soil reinforcement/Engineered Elements
  • setting boundary conditions,
  • setting loads,
  • modelling water pressures
  • modelling seismic accelerations
  • setting adequacy factor
  • solving,
  • viewing and animating the solution,
  • interrogating the solution,
• generating a report,
• solving multiple scenarios,

The sequence listed under ‘setting up and solving a problem’ is the recommended order to follow when defining and solving a problem.
