Product Overview
Slide3
Powerful Failure Surface Searching
Locate critical failure surfaces and compute the correct factor of safety using a combination of global metaheuristic search methods and local surface altering technology.
Integration with Radar Data
Streamline your workflow and get more detailed insights by integrating 3D wireframes (representing surveyed topography, geological surfaces, modelled faults, etc.) directly into your 3D models.
3D Model Creation – Point cloud, LiDar, Leapfrog
Constructing slope stability models is easier and faster than ever before. Import surfaces from geological modelling or mine planning software or use built-in surface construction methods using coordinates or borehole data.
