Import from Dips
Dips is a program for the graphical and statistical analysis of structural geology data using spherical projection techniques, available from Rocscience; click here for more information about Dips. Dips and Swedge are commonly used together for the analysis of rock slope stability.
Orientation data can be imported from Dips into Swedge with the Import from Dips option in the Input Data dialog. The data which can be imported depends on the Swedge Analysis Type (Deterministic, Probabilistic or Combinations), as described below.

Import from Dips: Deterministic
If the Swedge Analysis Type = Deterministic, you can import individual plane orientations from a Dips .DWP file, and assign the orientations to the Slope, Upper Face, Joint1, Joint2, or Tension Crack.

Import from Dips: Probabilistic
If the Swedge Analysis Type = Probabilistic, you can import mean orientations AND statistical joint set information (Fisher K value or standard deviation) from a Dips .DWP file, and assign the information to Joint1, Joint2 or Tension Crack.

Import from Dips: Combinations
If the Swedge Analysis Type = Combinations, you can import any number of plane orientations from a Dips .DIP file and/or .DWP file, and Swedge will analyse the stability of all possible joint combinations. See the Import from Dips (Combinations) topic for more information.
