Defining discontinuity sets and kinematic inputs
Stage 01 of the Rocscience Dips sequence: orientation data, slope attitude, friction angle and kinematic-analysis settings are entered before the stereonet is evaluated.
Process stage
The project settings and kinematic-analysis dialogue show the structural dataset, slope direction, slope angle, friction angle and analysis options used to define the test conditions.
Technical reading
These inputs establish the geometric and frictional limits against which the measured discontinuities are assessed.
Role in the modelling sequence
Orientation-data preparation and transparent definition of kinematic assumptions.
