For each calculation that is to be made +(a combination of location, scenario, subsoil/surface line and iteration step), first of all a short calculation is performed to determine whether uplift does occur for the given case. +If so, an \textit{UpliftVan} calculation is to be performed next to the \textit{Bishop} calculation that is always part of this model. +If not, only the \textit{Bishop} calculation is done. + +For each calculation, at least one stix file is written to a calculation folder per model. +This (result) stix file hold the input as passed to the \textit{Macro Stability} kernel as well as the resulting slip circle (\textit{Bishop}) or slip plane (\textit{UpliftVan}). +This file can be used to replicate the result as obtained using DAM by performing the calculation with \textit{D-Stability}. +This of course will only be true when the same version of \textit{Macro Stability} kernel is used by both programs. + +Possible second stix = input. + \section{Piping}\label{sec:piping} \subsection{Models}
