No, those are separate Rocscience products for rockfall and planar sliding. However, Slide 7.0 can model toppling or planar failures via composite slip surfaces.
The official Rocscience website offers a fully functional 15-day trial of Slide 7.0. No credit card required. This allows you to test every feature—probabilistic analysis, reinforcement design, finite element seepage—before purchasing.
Model complex stabilization measures:
You can specify load capacities, orientations, and spacing—critical for designing mitigation measures.
For short-term projects, Rocscience offers monthly or quarterly rentals. This is perfect for consultants needing the “full” version temporarily.
The full version provides access to all major LEM methods:
Each method offers different assumptions about interslice forces, allowing engineers to select the most appropriate for their project.
Geotechnical analyses often require help with convergence issues, complex boundary conditions, or interpreting results. Pirated versions offer no access to Rocscience’s excellent support team, nor do they receive bug fixes or new feature updates (e.g., Slide 7.1 or 7.2 patches).
The popularity of Slide 7.0 stems from its balance of power and usability. While it performs rigorous mathematical calculations, the user interface is graphical and intuitive. Engineers can "draw" the problem, assign materials with drag-and-drop ease, and visualize the failure surface immediately. This visual feedback loop is critical for validating that the model represents real-world conditions.
