Slope Material Library
To define slope material properties, select Slope Material Library from the toolbar or the Slope menu. The available input parameters depend on the Analysis Method (Lumped Mass or Rigid Body).
Materials List
In the Material List, all currently defined materials are listed. The material being edited is highlighted. You can:
- Delete the selected material by clicking
- Add a new material by clicking
- Show only the materials that are assigned to the slope by clicking
- To set the current material library as the default for all new files, to export the current material library as a file, or to import materials into the library, click on
