Hello sir,

I want to simulate the rockslide on the geometry which is created in rhino. As shown in figure, used extrudealongcrv to make geometry of slope surface.

But when imported in pfc i am unable to proper import the geometry.

[Geometeryfile](https://cciitpatna-my.sharepoint.com/:u:/g/personal/shivam_2221ce04_iitp_ac_in/IQCQD4YX7K2PR6GKJ4MtsVL6AX2kLCk0w22hCd21hqZ6BQ4?e=TTS8rO)

The code below is for calling the geometry

model new  
model large-strain on  
; Set the random seed for reproducibility  
model random 10001

; Set the model domain and destroy any rigid blocks that fly out of the domain  
model domain extent -300 500 -100 400 1300 1800 condition destroy

; Set the linear model with some normal viscous damping and low friction  
contact cmat default model linear method deformability emod 1e8 kratio 2.5 …  
property fric 0.3 dp\_nratio 0.5 dp\_mode 1 …  
lin\_mode 1

;Import the mountain as a wall  
geometry import ‘gemeteryforrockfallpfc1.stl’  
wall import from-geometry ‘gemeteryforrockfallpfc1’ skip-errors

If i want to generate the inclined box on the surface of slope. But i am not able to make the incline box.

Please help me.

Thankyou,

I think maybe you need to explode the string (dxf), before importing in PFC.
