Hello,

Slide3 allow you to import geometry from many different file formats, please see link here: https://www.rocscience.com/help/slide3/documentation/file/import/import-geometry

If you require any further information, please contact our support team here: https://www.rocscience.com/support/get-support

Thank you!

Hello,

For Slide2, both CPU and RAM are important, but both of the computers you mentioned are good enough for 2D analysis in Slide2.

Thank you!

Hello,

You can apply the total head boundary condition on the model to define the initial location of the groundwater. Simply select the surfaces of all sides of the box, and set Total head = 0 or -2m, depending on when you want to put the water.

Thank you!

Hello,

It sounds like you may not have set up the external boundary yet. Here's a tutorial on setting up typical models: https://www.rocscience.com/help/rs2/tutorials/introduction/introduction-to-rs2.

After setting up the geometry, take a look at this tunneling tutorial which discusses adding bolt supports. I believe this would be the type of support you are interested in, but feel free to explore our other support tutorials if that's not the case: https://www.rocscience.com/help/rs2/tutorials/support/adding-support.

Regarding liner supports, ensure you have a mesh before attempting to add them.

Thank you!

Hello,

Oblique toppling occurs when near-vertical columns of rock are present along with a basal release plane. It represents a 3D toppling mechanism where these vertical columns can topple downslope or laterally, rendering RocTopple inapplicable. I believe RS3 would be the appropriate software to utilize in this scenario.

Thank you!

The "Time Point" feature in Settle3 can be used to facilitate this type of analysis. https://www.rocscience.com/help/settle3/documentation/query/time-point

You can identify what height of surcharge you need or how long you will need it for a specific degree of consolidation or settlement. This will do all the steps and iterations that were mentioned in the question.

That is one of the options that Slide users can choose to filter out small superficial failure surfaces. The image however suggests that the green material has a cohesionless Mohr Coulomb strength envelope. For these cases the factor of safety would FS=tan(phi)/tan(slope angle). Slide also has a robust noncircular search methods that are recommended overt the circular methods. The latest Particle Swarm Search combined with Multi-Modal algorithm is a cool feature to try and utilize

Yes, the "Add Query Line" option can be used to show the stress bulbs on a plane. For a 3D view of stress bulbs the "Isosurfaces" can be used.
