RS2 allows you to easily analyze stress/deformation and stability of any project, regardless of whether it is above ground or below ground. RS2's integrated Seepage Analysis Tool allows you to factor in groundwater flow for both steady-state and transient conditions. Automate your slope stability analysis using shear strength reduction. This performs a finite element analyze to determine the critical strength reduction factor. You can analyze embankments using slope stability, groundwater leakage, consolidation, or dynamic analysis. Groundwater and dynamic analysis tools are available in RS2. There is also a large library of advanced constitutive models that can be used to capture the sudden loss in strength caused by liquefaction. This tool is suitable for both underground and open-pit excavations. It can analyze stability, stress/deformation and bench design. It also supports the design and support of underground caverns.

Patran offers a set of powerful tools to help you create analysis-ready models for linear, nonlinear and explicit dynamics solutions, thermal solutions, and more. Patran's tools make it simple for anyone to create FE-models. From geometry cleanup tools to help engineers deal with gaps and slivers, to solid modeling tools to allow creation of models completely from scratch, Patran is easy to use. Surfaces and solids can be meshed using fully automated routines, manual methods for more control, or a combination of both. Finaly, loads, boundary condition, and analysis setup are built-in for most popular FE Solvers, reducing the need to edit inputs. Patran's comprehensive, industry-tested capabilities ensure that virtual prototyping efforts deliver results quickly so that you can evaluate performance of products against requirements and optimize designs.
