Groundwater Results Overview
If a finite element groundwater analysis has been carried out using Slide2, then the groundwater analysis results are viewed in the Slide2 Interpret program, using the options in the Groundwater menu.
- The primary means of data interpretation after a groundwater analysis is the viewing of data contours directly on the model. See the Overview of Groundwater Data topic for information.
- Material Queries allow the user to obtain and plot groundwater analysis results from any location within the slope.
- Other options are available, such as the ability to view iso-lines, flow lines and flow vectors.
The Groundwater analysis results in Slide2 can be viewed simultaneously with the slope stability analysis results (i.e. slip surfaces, safety factors etc). If you only wish to view groundwater results without the slope stability results (or vice versa), then you can use the Mode option in the View menu to select only groundwater (or slope stability) results.
