RocFall2

Project Settings :

Select from Lumped Mass and Rigid Body Methods

Scale normal coefficient of restitution by rock mass or impact velocity

Psuedo-random number generation for repeatable results

Advanced simulation settings

Lumped Mass Method :

Model each rock as a particle with only mass

Use both normal and tangential coefficients of restitution

Models pseudo-rotation

Sliding with friction angle

Rigid Body Method :

Rock type library

Define rock shape and size

Polygonal rock shapes and smooth shapes

Custom polygons

Forest damping for treed slopes

Variable friction according to sliding distance

Viscoplastic ground drag

Sliding and rolling with dynamic coefficient of friction and rolling friction

Seeders :

Specify single location, point seeder series, and line seeders

Unlimited number of starting locations

Probability settings for seeder starting velocities and rotations

Pseudo-random number generation

Slope :

No restriction on slope geometry (e.g., overhanging sections)

Statistically defined material properties

Model crest loss

Statistically defined slope vertices

Import/export material properties

Import .dxf, .crsp (version 3 & 4) files

Import .bmp images

Define slope based on segment lengths and angles

Enhanced Barrier Analysis :

Unlimited number of barriers

Deformable barriers

Single variable barrier sensitivity analysis

Double variable barrier sensitivity analysis

Reusable barrier properties

Built-in library includes Maccaferri, Trumer-Schutzbauten, Geobrugg, PFEIFER Protective Structures and RISP barriers

Check barrier designs per Italian, Austrian codes or un-factored method

Earthen Berms :

Rockfall mitigation tool

Triangular, trapezoidal, or custom berm shapes

Calculate impact with berms or specify berms with infinite capacities

Data Collectors :

Gather information/statistics at any location

Filters :

Pick particular rock paths to create statistics/graphs

Define advanced filters based on combinations of criteria

Graphs Produced :

Histogram of rock endpoint locations

Mean, standard deviation, max graphs (energy, velocity, bounce height, etc.)

Distribution graphs show distribution at specific locations (same data as envelope graphs)

Create histograms or cumulative distributions for specific locations (impact locations, energy, etc.)

Toggle end reasons, seeders, rock types, and rock shapes added to Endpoint location, envelope, and distribution graphs
