TORONTO, ON. (October 31, 2008) - Rocscience is pleased to announce the release of Phase2 7.0, an upgrade to their popular finite element stress analysis program. Phase2 7.0 is an extremely versatile 2D elasto-plastic finite element program for designing underground or surface excavations and their support systems. Phase2 7.0 can be used for rock or soil applications and includes slope stability and groundwater seepage analysis.
“With the new support design tools and joint network modeling, Phase2 7.0 is going to be a pleasant surprise for many users who have eagerly awaited these advanced modeling features”, says chief software developer Dr. Brent Corkum.
Phase2 7.0 includes an automatic joint network generator and new tools for improved support modeling, as well as increased speed and enhanced model development capabilities.
New features include:
|
Improved Support Modelling
new liner design tools for reinforced concrete liners
comprehensive library of steel sections for reinforced
concrete liners
explicit modelling of joint-bolt interactions
Automatic Generation of Discrete Fracture Networks
tools for automatically generating networks of joints
that are consistent with various statistical models
generator enables engineers to examine ranges of
possible failure mechanisms and behaviour,
which can occur in a rock mass
Computational Speedup
incorporation of Fast Intel Solver Routines enables users
to make the most of their time by speeding up calculations
by as much as 5 times
can compute models with much larger degrees of freedom
and numbers of elements
Enhanced Model-Development Capabilities
can directly access Rocscience programs RocLab and
RocData to provide reasonable first estimates of input
properties of rock masses and soils
automated Finite Element slope stability analysis using
shear strength reduction method and the ability to
import and export limit equilibrium Slide models
