In this model‚ the embankment was constructed on a layer of soft clay and I needed to use GeoStudio 2012 to determine the location of the critical slip surface and the factor of safety. There are basically eight steps to analyze a new model using GeoStudio 2012. First is to start a new project‚ then‚ set the analysis options
