Project Settings

The Project Settings option is used to configure the main setup parameters for your Slide2 model.

The Project Settings should always be selected before you proceed with creating your model, as some of the settings (for example, the Units of Measurement and Groundwater options) determine the input and availability of other modelling options.

The Project Settings dialog is organized into the following sections (pages) which are accessed by selecting the name of the page from the list at the left of the dialog.

• General
• Soil Profile
• Scenarios
• Methods
• Groundwater
• Transient
• Seismic
• Statistics
• Random Numbers
• Design Standard
• Advanced

Project Settings is available in the toolbar, Analysis menu or default right-click menu.

Default Settings

You can customize the default Project Settings by selecting the Defaults button. This allows you to specify the current settings as the default, or restore the original program defaults, for all new files. Default status can be saved for the following options:

• Units of Measurement
• Failure Direction
• Maximum Properties
• Analysis Methods
• Convergence Options
• Random Numbers
• Advanced Settings

The following settings cannot be saved as user defaults, and always revert to the program defaults:

• Data Output
• Interslice Force Function
• Groundwater Method
• Advanced Groundwater
• Transient
• Statistics
