Soil body

The soil body is formed by a layered profile. An arbitrary number of layers can be used. Each layer is defined by its geometry and material. The material of a layer is usually represented by a soil with specified properties. The geostatic stress in a soil body is determined during the analysis.

A layer can be specified also as a rigid body. Such layer then represents bedrock or a sheeting wall. The slip surface can never pass through the rigid body.
