  • Python Scripting

    Automate model updates, manage complex tasks, and integrate geological data efficiently using RS2 Python Scripting to enhance your workflow. The intuitive RocScript Editor supports popular Python libraries for deeper analysis and efficient project management.

  • Unsaturated Behaviour

    Define unsaturated soil properties to model the effects of suction on shear strength and deformation. Utilize various single effective stress methods and unsaturated shear strength parameters to simulate realistic soil behavior under varying moisture conditions.

  • Spatial Variability for Hydraulic Properties

    Instead of assuming uniform hydraulic behavior across a region, RS2 now allows users to account for natural variability. In seepage analyses, properties such as permeability, water content, and degree of saturation can be defined as functions of volumetric strain, stress, and geometric location—giving you a more accurate simulation of seepage behavior.
