Bench Design Results

After you have computed a probabilistic analysis using the Bench Design option, results can be graphed on a variety of different plots which are available in the Bench Design sub-menu of the Statistics menu. The plot types include:

• Total Probability of Failure Plot
• Total Probability of Sliding Plot
• Normalized Frequency of Failed Wedges Plot
• Mean Wedge Volume of Failed Wedges Plot
• Cumulative Mean Wedge Volume of Failed Wedges Plot
• Minimum Bench Width Plot
• Cell Probability of Occurrence Plot
• Cell Cumulative Probability of Occurrence Plot
• Cell Probability of Sliding Plot
• Cell Probability of Failure Plot

For a discussion of Bench Design results and the various plot types see the Bench Design tutorial and theory documents:

Exporting Results

After generating any of the above plots, the plot data can be exported to an Excel spreadsheet or the clipboard.

• Export to Excel - you can export the plot and data to Excel by selecting Export to Excel from the toolbar or the File menu
• Copy to Clipboard - you can also copy results to the clipboard by selecting the Copy Chart to Clipboard or Copy Data to Clipboard options in the Edit menu
