Error Codes
The following errors were encountered during the computation:

-108 = Total driving moment

or total driving force < 0.1. This is to
limit the calculation of extremely high safety
factors if the driving force is very small
(0.1 is an arbitrary number).

-109 = Soiltype for slice base not

located. This error should occur very rarely,
if at all. It may occur if a very low number of
slices is combined with certain soil geometries,
such that the midpoint of a slice base is
actually outside the soil region,even though
the slip surface is wholly within the soil region.
