Overview of Batch Compute

Batch Compute can quickly generate results for several SWedge model files.

To access the Batch Compute feature of SWedge:

  1. Select File > Batch Compute Batch Compute from the menu.
  2. The Batch Compute dialog will appear allowing you to:
    • Add files to the File Queue for computing
    • Select an Output File Format
    • See the progress of Completed Files
    • See if any issues occurred during reading, computing, or writing under Warnings

Input File

Batch Compute several Deterministic, Probabilistic, and/or Combinations analysis models using saved SWedge (*.swd, *.swd7) model files.

To add SWedge model files to the File Queue:

  • Select the Open Open File button button to choose individual model files.

Output File

When Batch Compute is run, a directory by the same name as the input model file will be created in the same directory as the input model file. This directory contains the computed results for the input model file.

The results of each model file can be output to either:

  • Comma-delimited text file (*.txt), or
  • Excel (*.xlsx) format

The text output file will be saved inside the Batch Compute Results Text Files subdirectory. The Excel output file will be saved inside the Batch Compute Results Excel Files subdirectory. One "Results" file is generated per model computed.

In a Probabilistic or Combinations analysis where more than one wedge can be considered, the output file is formatted to write one wedge per row.

  • Wedge ID

Notes:

  • If no valid wedge is formed, Safety Factor = N/A and any computed values will also be N/A.
  • The applicability of some computed values depends on the geometry, strength, force, and water options selected (e.g., any parameter involving the Basal Joint will be N/A since no Basal Joint exists).
