Phase2 Tutorials > SSR Polygonal Search Area
Slope models may have multiple failure modes, and the most critical failure mode is not necessarily the one with the lowest safety factor. The SSR Polygonal Search Area option allows you to focus the SSR analysis on any particular region of the model, allowing you to filter out localized failure modes (e.g. bench failure) and search for more important global failure modes.
