  • Simple placement
  • Define load capacity and length for each bolt - The bolt capacity is entered
         as a force per distance, taking account of the spacing of the bolts in the
         out-of-plane direction.
  • Optimize orientation of rockbolts
  • Calculation of bolt capacity for a specified factor of safety
  • Active or passive bolt models
  • Instant calculation of safety after after addition of reinforcement
  • Simple addition / deletion / modification of individual rockbolts
