Settle^3D is here!  –  Fall 2007

Setup for oil tank settlement problem using Settle^3D

Lessons from the Slide Rule and the Design of Settle^3D- Our new settlement and consolidation software seeks to build upon the timeless benefits offered by the slide rule, the most fundamental benefit being a simple, yet versatile, computational tool for tackling wide-ranging and challenging problems. With this new release, Rocscience has applied the lessons learned from the slide rule in creating this new software tool, which is simple, affordable, versatile, and enjoyable to use.

The Settle^3D Product Page has links to the many features offered in this new program. Place your order on-line through our website before December 31st and take advantage of the $100.00 introductory discount offer.

New Rock Fracture Dynamics Lab Aims to Revolutionize Research in Engineering Geoscience - This new lab, the RFDL at the University of Toronto, is now operational. It is the only facility in the world for testing rock samples under true triaxial stresses, with control of pore pressure and temperature, and the ability to make integrated measurements including continuous acoustic emission recording, acoustic velocity and permeability.

Each summer, Rocscience hires several students to work with our engineers on software development. This year we were very happy to have attracted two very excellent students from the University of Toronto. Gabriela Nuta is a civil engineering student who is now beginning her Master of Engineering degree. Vainatey Kulkarni is a third year mechanical engineering student.
