Import RS3 File

The Import RS3 File option allows you to import an RS3 file into the RocSlope3 file.

To import an RS3 file:

1. Select: File > Import > Import RS3 File
2. You will see an Open File dialog, allowing you to select a file. Select and open the desired RS3 file (supports extension with: *.rs3v3, *.rs3v3model, *.rs3v2, *.rs3dmodel).
3. After importing the RS3 file, you should verify that the geometry, materials, supports, etc. have been correctly imported.

The following entities and properties can be imported:

• Geometry (any entities and assigned Material Properties)
  
• Material Properties
  • Unit Weight
  • Groundwater
• Groundwater
  • Boreholes
    • Borehole Water Table and Borehole entities and borehole properties defined in Groundwater > Borehole Manager
  • Water Table entities from Groundwater > Add Water Surface
  • Piezometric Surface entities and properties defined in Groundwater > Add Water by Location
  • Water Grid entities and properties defined in Groundwater > Add Water Pressure Grid
• Loading
  • Seismic Loading
  • Load entities from Loading > Add Load
  • Surface Load entities from Loading > Add Loads to Selected
• Support
  • Bolt Properties defined in Support > Define Bolt Properties
    • Bolt Properties are not completely equivalent, so can only import the following types:
      • End Anchored is like Mechanically Anchored
        • Force Application
          
        • Anchor Capacity
          
        • Default values are used for missing parameters:
          
          • Tensile Capacity
          • Plate Capacity
        • Use Bolt Orientation Efficiency = False
          
        • Use Shear Capacity = False
      • Grouted Tieback is like Grouted Dowel
        • Force Application
        • Use Bolt Orientation Efficiency = False
          
        • Tensile Capacity
          
        • Use Shear Capacity and Shear Capacity
        • Use Compression Capacity and Compression Capacity
        • Plate Capacity
        • Bond Strength
        • Material Dependent
        • Use Percent of Length and Percent of Length (or Length)
      • Soil Nail is like Cable Bolt
        • Force Application
        • Use Bolt Orientation Efficiency = False
          
        • Tensile Capacity
        • Use Shear Capacity and Shear Capacity
        • Use Compression Capacity and Compression Capacity
        • Plate Capacity
        • Bond Strength
        • Material Dependent
      • Design Factors apply in the same way
  • Bolt Pattern entities from Support > Add Bolts
  • Surface Bolt Pattern entities and properties from Support > Add Bolts to Selected Surface
• Sensor Data
  • Data imported from File > Import > Import Sensor Data > Import IDS Radar Data
  • Data imported from File > Import > Import Sensor Data > Import IDS Radar Live Data
  • Data imported from File > Import > Import Sensor Data > Import Groundprobe Data
  • Data imported from File > Import > Import Sensor Data > Import Tre Altamira Data
  • Data imported from File > Import > Import Sensor Data > Import 3vGeomatics Data
  • Data imported from File > Import > Import Sensor Data > Import Reutech Data
  • Data imported from File > Import > Import Sensor Data > Import Maptek Data
• Joint Properties
  • Joint Properties defined in Materials > Joints > Define Joint Properties
  • Joint Properties are not completely equivalent, so can only import the following Failure Criterion types (which translate to Shear Strength Model in RocSlope3):
    • None will by imported to RocSlope3 as Mohr-Coulomb with Cohesion = 0 and Phi = 0 (i.e., provides zero shear strength)
    • Mohr-Coulomb
      • Peak Cohesion translates to Cohesion
      • Peak Friction Angle translates to Friction Angle
    • Barton-Bandis
      • JCS
      • JRC
      • Residual Friction Angle is the same as Phir
    • Material Dependent with Joint Coefficient = 1 is equivalent to Material Dependent with no overridden values
    • Waviness = 0
    • Water Pressure Distribution
      • Groundwater Pore Pressure checked is the same as Water Pressure Distribution = Material Dependent (with no Additional Pressure)
      • Groundwater Pore Pressure unchecked is the same as Water Pressure Distribution = Dry (with no Additional Pressure)
      • Additional Pressure > Pressure is the same as Water Distribution = Uniform (with no Groundwater Pore Pressure)
      • Additional Pressure > Apply using Piezometer Surface is the same as Water Distribution = Water Surface (with no Groundwater Pore Pressure)
      • Any other selection is not supported and Water Pressure Distribution is set to Material Dependent (by default)
  • Joint Surfaces
    • Joint Surface entities from Materials > Joints > Add Joint Surface
    • Applied Property (Joint Property)
    NOTE: Joint edge conditions (i.e., Close Joint Edge, Open Joint Edge) from RS3 are not applicable to RocSlope3
