Introduction of points defining the tangential mesh (through keypoints).

PREP7: GEOTECHNICAL MODULE: Slope stability

K1

Keypoint 1 defining the parallelogram.

K2

Keypoint 2 defining the parallelogram.

K3

Keypoint 3 defining the parallelogram.

K4

Keypoint 4 defining the parallelogram.

NTAN

Number of tangents.

Notes

- Tangents are “infinite”, circles may be tangent to any point of the line and not only in the area enclosed by the quadrilateral. Therefore, the quadrilateral cannot be degenerated.

- If only one keypoint is introduced and the remaining are left blank, only circles passing through this point are taken. In this case, there is clearly only one circle per centre.
