Hi,

There is a bug when running the script attached.

The bug is that the load applied on top of the crest does not appear correctly in the results page, however the results do appear to be correct (or at least close to correct).

Thanks,
Jesse

Hi Jesse,

thanks for the script, it seems there is a bug in the presentation of the loading in the result tab. I'll take a look at it and let you know when it's fixed. thank you again.

it seems like the problem is coming from the fact that you try to draw material boundaries after applying the load and that cause the reordering the segments and mess up the segment numbering which is already allocated by load. I just moved the applyload command after the matboundary and everything works fine. it's a temporary fix but I need to find a way to automatically take care of renumbering later on.

Okay that makes sense thank you. I will do that for the time being.

Perhaps a coordinate based approach might be more suitable for loads, or maybe loading could be specific to the external boundary rather than any material boundary.

it's resolved I'm going to release the new version in couple of days.

Thank you Roozbeh I appreciate the effort.

Hi Roozbeh,

I have just noticed that the issue of defining the limits and then changing the materials also causes a similar bug.

The bug results in the full geometry not being analysed (ie failure planes are not checked through the middle of the slope in this case).

Perhaps your solution has already solved this problem since it is probably caused by the same issue.

Best,
Jesse

yes you are right the "define limit" command has the same issue and is not fixed yet. I need to revisit it.
