Seismic analysis (locations, magnitudes and mechanisms)

Advanced 3D numerical modeling

Multiple material domains

Staged analysis

Calculate and visualize stresses and displacements

Import mine geometries for visualization and model creation

Model faults as weak zones

Multiple constitutive models for rock including Hoek-Brown and Ubiquitous Joints.  IMASS model available as an option

Can model failure and plasticity.  Strain softening available for most constitutive models

Model can generate seismic data for comparison with actual recorded data

Easy movie generation for interpreting results

UI-driven experience – no scripting required

Importing mine geometries for different stages of excavation allows for quick and easy automatic generation of staged geomechanical analysis.  Hundreds of stages can be set up in seconds.

Easy specification of material properties and in-situ stresses through dialogs.  Meaningful defaults provided.

Common boundary conditions applied with one or two clicks

Simple model mesh creation (octree)

Extensive help system including dozens of how-to videos

Movie templates provided for easy creation of movies of common views (e.g., stress, displacement)

Querying of stresses or displacements at specified points can be done simply by clicking on the finished model

Built on FLAC3D engine

Combines multiple capabilities into one product

Block model visualization

Advanced seismic (option) analysis

Start using IMASS (option) in your mine scale modeling

UI-driven model building and an interface targeted to mining applications makes model building faster than ever (minutes or hours instead of days or weeks)

Use Basic mode to quickly run simple elastic or plastic models with no distractions

Use Advanced mode to easily construct complex models with access to all generated FLAC3D data files to learn FLAC3D and customize models
