DIANA User's Manual Geotechnical Analysis

We define a surface, automatically called S1, between the four points. To make
postprocessing easier we place this surface in a set LOWER. The EYE FRAME com-
mand causes the currently displayed geometry to fit nicely within the viewport.
Unfortunately the monitor overlaps the upper left corner, therefore we remove
the monitor via the MONITOR option of the DRAWING CONTENTS command. With
the VIEW and LABEL commands we get the current geometry displayed and la-
beled [Fig. 13.2a].

Interface elements. Actually this model is pseudo-three-dimensional, all el-
ements may be positioned in the XY -plane. However, the interface elements for
the resistance layer have a virtual thickness in Z direction. To check the model
for this layer conveniently we will temporarily switch to a real three-dimensional
model by sweeping the lower surface.
