Set SSR Exclude Area

If you have enabled Shear Strength Reduction (SSR) analysis in the project settings, you can create a region and only perform SSR analysis in the material outside that region. To do this:

1. Select the Compute workflow tab.
2. Ensure that you have enabled SSR analysis in the project settings.
3. Select the Set SSR Exclude Area option from the toolbar or from the Compute menu.
4. A box should appear. You can adjust the size of the box graphically by hovering over a vertex until the Freehand Manipulation icon appears. Drag the ball on the icon to freely move the vertex in x,y and z directions or drag the arrows on the icon to move the vertices in one direction. You cannot rotate a vertex.
5. Once you are satisfied with the SSR area, right-click and select Done . You can delete your box by using Cancel .

Now when you select the compute option, SSR analysis will only be conducted on the material outside that region.
