Direction of seismic loads and the need for seepage analysis prior to stability analysis
For the stability analysis of embankment dam, what should be the direction of horizontal and vertical seismic coefficient. 1.What is the meaning of a positive and negative coefficient for both vertical and horizontal case? 2. For eg. for the stability analysis of embankment dam for d/s slope what should be the sign for the…

Anchor Support: Red box in front of slip surface
When I run my stability analysis with an anchor, it is showing that the support from the bonded zone is in front of the critical failure surface (as shown by the red box). When I make the anchor longer, this support goes away, which seems to me the opposite of what should happen. What is going on?

User-defined Constitutive model in Geostudio SIGMA/W
Dear all, Is it possible to implement a user-defined constitutive model into Geostuido SIGMA/W? If yes, then what programming language is supported? Are there any examples for reference? I'd appreciate it for your help. Regards Chou.

Far Field Boundary Conditions in SEEP/W
I am performing a seepage analysis of an embankment dam and have a question about the downstream boundary condition. I am using a potential seepage face boundary condition since tailwater is unknown. Is it appropriate to extend the potential seepage face down the right side of the model as a far field boundary condition or…

Definition of initial moisture content
hey! I got a question for modeling transient analysis when using Seep/W and Sigma/W. I'm trying to model an embankment with a certain initial moisture content. Is there any way to define initial moisture content rather than defining only saturation state of the soil? Since I try to analyze dissipation of water through the…

Seep plugin for 2D non-Darcy flow
Hello teacher, I want to find out where can I find the non-Darcy flow plug-in in the two-dimensional case, I can't find the two-dimensional non-Darcy flow in the geostudio plug-in, thank you.
