~SLPINK

 

~SLPINK, K1, K2, K3, KCN

Capture an ANSYS model through keypoints to perform a slope stability analysis

PREP7: GEOTECHNICAL MODULE: Slope stability

K1

Keypoint 1 that defines the surface (initial point).

K2

Keypoint 2 that defines the surface (final point).

K3

Keypoint 3 that defines the surface (intermediate point to specify the path).

KCN

Coordinate system. By default, the active CSYS will be taken. The earth weight is calculated in the direction of the negative Y-axis.

Notes

- The following Plane elements are admitted:

- MESH200 (KeyOpts 4, 5, 6, 7): Must be in the XY plane or at least, they have to be parallel to it.

- PLANE2, PLANE35, PLANE146: 6-node-triangular plane elements.

- PLANE13, PLANE42, PLANE55, PLANE67, PLANE162, PLANE182: 4-node rectangular plane elements.

- PLANE53, PLANE77, PLANE82, PLANE121, PLANE145, PLANE183: 8-node rectangular plane elements.

- All elements must be linked, making up a surface with a single boundary. Holes within earth are not admitted, but they can be filled with “flimsy” material.

- The K1, K2 and K3 keypoints define the surface according to the following rule: the surface covers the distance between keypoints K1 and K2, going through all the lines of the “half boundary” that contains K3. Nodes and elements must be selected.

- The ~SLPINK command creates a “jobname.SLP” file, where all data are saved, not only the input data, but also the results.
