FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Examine2D 7.0 – A fast and easy real-time stress analysis tool.
Now available as a free download!


Users of all levels can benefit from easier, faster analyses



TORONTO, ON. (December 15, 2006) - Rocscience Inc., a leading developer of geotechnical analysis and design software, is pleased to announce the release of Examine2D 7.0 as the latest addition to their comprehensive library of slope stability, excavation design and geotechnical programs.

Examine2D is a very fast two-dimensional indirect boundary element program for calculating stresses and displacements around underground and surface excavations in rock. With Examine2D you can quickly create and mesh a model, perform a stress analysis, and interpret the results.

The ease of use of Examine2D makes it an effective teaching tool. According to Professor John Hadjigeorgiou of Universite Laval, “The latest windows version constitutes a major breakthrough in the teaching and understanding of numerical modelling. Its ease of use, almost "real time" analysis and intuitive interface has opened up all sorts of interesting possibilities in illustrating and investigating the power of numerical modelling in rock engineering."

Some additional features of the new Examine2D 7.0 include:

  • Greatly improved graphics and viewing options, with the new
         Windows interface.
  • A CAD based modeler allows for point and click geometry input
         and editing. Popup windows allow for easy entry and modification
         of model parameters.
  • Simple editing tools which 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.
  • Real-time contouring and stress analysis as geometry or
         input parameters are modified.

  • Examine2D 7.0 is now available as a free download. For more information, and to view a product demonstration by Brent Corkum, Software Development Manager, please go to www.rocscience.com/products/Examine2D.asp.
