Toolbar Toolbar The main toolbar contains icons, each representing a tool to create or edit a part of your model. FLAC/SLOPE runs as a two stage process. The first stage defines the model in geometric terms. The second stage begins when the model is meshed into zones. (This process is contrary to the full FLAC-GIIC which works directly on a zoned model.) The geometry stage can be considered to work like a preprocessor to FLAC for specialized problems such as slopes. Geometry Stage Bound - define slope outer boundary Layers - define tables for internal boundaries between materials. Material - assign materials to regions defined by Interface - create an interface in model. Apply - apply boundary conditions to top. Bolt - add bolt elements. Water - add water table Gravity - set gravity. Mesh - create mesh and move to stage 2. Mesh Stage Geom - return to geometry stage SolveFoS - start solve Factor of Safety process PlotFoS - plot failure state in FoS Note: You can hide the toolbar and show the tools as separate menus to increase viewing size via the Show/Tools menu. All the toolbar operations are accessible through the Tools menu.
