Open File

To view the results of a Slide2 analysis, select Open from the toolbar or the File menu. Slide2 files have a *.SLI filename extension.

Before results can be displayed in Interpret, the analysis must have been performed using COMPUTE. If not, a warning message will be displayed when you attempt to open the file in Interpret.

• Interpret will always open a file by displaying the Global Minimum surface for the Bishop analysis method (if a Bishop analysis was run).
• If you have computed a finite element groundwater analysis, then Interpret will also display contours of Pressure Head on the model.

Opening Multiple Files

As Slide2 is an MDI (multiple document interface) application, any number of files can be simultaneously open for viewing.

Furthermore, any number of windows (views) can be opened for each file, using the New Window option in the Window menu.
