The Galena prameter file (<proj>.gal) contains configuration details for the Galena export and import options. It consists of a numer of sections which are described below.

ANALYSIS

TYPES (table)

Contains a table of the possible analysis types available in Galena. This table is used in the Analysis panel.

Each row of the table contains a single entry:

Type name (character)

Name of the analysis type.

DEFAULT

FILTER (character)

Name of the default export filter. This must be one of LONGEST_EDGE, MAXIMUM DEVIATION or SECTION_MIDDLE .

EXPORT_FILE (character)

Sets the name of the default Galena export file.

IMPORT_FILE (character)

Sets the name of the default Galena import file.

REREAD_FILE (character)

Sets the name of the default Galena file to load from.

PHREATIC

FORCE_ABOVE (numeric)

Sets the water force above the phreatic profile.

FORCE_BELOW (numeric)

Sets the water force below the phreatic profile.

MATERIALS

NFORM (numeric)

Material parameter form number. This must be either 0 or 1.

PARAMETERS (table)

Contains a list of the names of the parameters for each material. Each entry has the form:

DESCRIPTION (character)

Descriptive name of the material.

If NFORM is set to 0, then the standard Galena parameters are Cohesion, Angle of Shearing Resistance, Unit Weight, Pore Pressure Ratio and Plasticity Index.

DEFAULTS (table)

Contains a list of the names of the default material tables. These tables must be included in the MATERIALS section. Each entry has the form:

TABLE (character)

Name of a default material table.

* (table)

Contains the data for a material table. The name of this section must match one of the names given in the DEFAULTS table and a section for each of the names in the DEFAULTS table must be included. Each entry in this table has the following form:

PARAM_1 (character)

Contains the value of parameter 1.

PARAM_2 (character)

Contains the value of parameter 2.

PARAM_3 (character)

Contains the value of parameter 3.

PARAM_4 (character)

Contains the value of parameter 4.

PARAM_5 (character)

Contains the value of parameter 5.

PARAM_6 (character)

This MUST NOT be included if NFORM=0.

DESCRIPTION (character)

Contains a description of the material defined.

FAILURE

TYPES (table)

Contains a list of the failure types possible. Each entry has the form:

Failure type (character)

Either CIRCULAR or NON-CIRCULAR.
