Examine3D is an engineering analysis program for underground excavations in rock. Examine 3D was developed mainly for stress analysis, although its data visualization tools can be applied to a wide range of three-dimensional mining and civil engineering data. For example, Examine3D has been used to visualize microseismic datasets such as seismic velocity, source parameters, and event density.[img]http://www.rocscience.com/images/products/examine3d/Examine3D_Intro_1.gif[/img]Examine3D consists of three program modules: Model generates the geometry and boundary element discretization for underground openings, Compute performs the computation of stresses and displacements, using the direct boundary element method and Interpret, with 3D animation capability, visualizes the analysis results. Each of the three modules can be run independently. For example, the input data for Compute can be generated using Model or some...

Examine2D is a very fast two-dimensional indirect boundary element and displacement discontinuity program for calculating stresses and displacements around underground and surface excavations in rock. Unlike the Finite Element and Finite Difference methods, the boundary element method only requires meshing around the excavation boundaries, eliminating the need for complex volume mesh generation.[img]http://www.rocscience.com/images/products/examine2d/Examine2D_Intro_1.gif[/img]Examine2D provides an integrated graphical environment for data entry and visualization. A CAD based modeler allows for point and click geometry input and editing. Popup windows allow for easy entry and modification of model parameters.The simple editing tools provide a convenient method for performing parametric studies. The graphical data interpreter offers a rich set of tools for the convenient display of model results. With Examine2D you can quickly create...

Dips is designed for the interactive analysis of orientation based geological data. The program is capable of many applications and is designed for the novice or occasional user, and for the accomplished user of stereographic projection who wishes to utilize more advanced tools in the analysis of geological data.[img]http://www.rocscience.com/images/products/dips/Dips_Intro_1.jpg[/img]Dips allows the user to analyze and visualize structural data following the same techniques used in manual stereonets. In addition, it has many computational features, such as statistical contouring of orientation clustering (illustrated below), mean orientation and confidence calculation, cluster variability, and qualitative and quantitative feature attribute analysis.Dips is designed for the analysis of features related to the engineering analysis of rock structures, however, the free format of the Dips data file...

[b]Crown Pillar and Roof Beam Stability Analysis[/b]CPillar is a quick, simple to use analysis tool for evaluating the stability of surface or underground crown pillars and laminated roof beds. Analysis methods include rigid or elastic analysis and voussoir (no tension) analysis, for pillar, beam or plate configurations.[img]http://www.rocscience.com/images/products/cpillar/cpillar-intro_1.gif[/img]Statistical analysis of failure probability can be carried out by entering standard deviations for material and loading parameters. With CPillar you can quickly create a model, calculate safety factors and failure probabilities and interpret the results.CPillar provides an integrated graphical environment for data entry and 3D model visualization. A CAD based modeler allows for point and click data input and editing. Popup windows allow for easy entry and modification of input parameters.Product:Rocscience CPillar 3.04...

PFC2D and PFC3D (Particle Flow Code in 2 Dimensions; Particle Flow Code in 3 Dimensions) are programs for modeling the movement and interaction of assemblies of arbitrarily-sized circular (2D) or spherical (3D) particles. The particles are rigid but deform locally at contact points using a soft contact approach, in which finite normal and shear stiffnesses are taken to represent measurable contact stiffnesses.The particles may represent individual grains in a granular material or they may be bonded together to represent a solid material, in which case, fracturing occurs via progressive bond breakage. Solution by the distinct-element method allows dynamic stress waves to propagate through the particle assembly, which may exhibit slip or separation, with unlimited displacement, under the action of applied...

FLAC/Slope uses the graphical interface and the automatic factor-of-safety calculation of FLAC as the core of a new, user-friendly code that models slope stability problems under a wide variety of slope conditions. These include: arbitrary slope geometries, multiple layers, pore pressure conditions, heterogeneous soil properties, surface loading, and structural reinforcement.FLAC/Slope uses the same calculation method as FLAC with a simplified modeling environment that provides tools and facilities exclusive to slope stability analyses. The result is a code that offers rapid model development, proven analytical capabilities, and fast solution reporting. Users of FLAC will find the FLAC/Slope modeling environment familiar. However, experience with FLAC is not necessary to learn and operate FLAC/Slope.FLAC/Slope is now available at or below the cost of...
