How do I model a pattern bolted slope face? To solve this problem, Rocscience has added a new option in the Support menu that allows the user to add pressure loads to either the slope face, upper face or both. The pressure is defined as a stress vector with both magnitude and direction. By default, the direction is normal to the slope. The user can also define whether the force is active (reduces the driving forces) or passive (increases the resisting forces). (Swedge 4.06, 01/02)
