Rocscience RS2 - 2D Finite Element Analysis Software
FromRocscience
RS2 (Phase2 9.0) is a powerful 2D finite element program for soil and rock applications (RS2 = Rock and Soil 2-dimensional analysis program). RS2 can be used for a wide range of engineering projects and includes excavation design, slope stability, groundwater seepage, probabilistic analysis, consolidation, and dynamic analysis capabilities.

Consolidation and Seepage Analysis
With RS2`s comprehensive consolidation and groundwater seepage?analysis tools, you can analyze steady-state and transient flow alongside stress or deformation and thermal effects for dams, embankments, slopes, tunnels, and excavations.
Slope Stability Analysis
Automate your slope stability analysis with Shear Strength Reduction, which considers applied loads, complex groundwater flows, and liquefaction effects from dynamic analysis for accurate results.
