Questions

1. The program is not behaving correctly. It either doesn't start, crashes all the time, or doesn't work as defined in the manual. What's wrong?

2. To get reasonably accurate results, what sort of element density is required?

3. Does Examine3D handle surface excavations?

4. Is there a limit to the integer or real ranges that Examine3D can accept?

5. How do I check tractions?

6. Does Examine3D support the change of element colors when reading and writing to files?

7. Can Examine3D work under a Windows NT environment?

8. Can the input file and result file from MAP3D be imported into Examine3D ?

9. Can AutoCAD drawings be imported into Examine3D ?

10. What is the software limitation with respect to the number of blocks and the number of mining steps that could be included in a given model? What are the limitations on number of nodes and elements?

11. Can Rocscience customize the software for my needs?

12. Can seismic event location, magnitude and source parameters be imported into the model?

13. Is it possible to apply tractions (i.e. internal pressures) to specific elements in my model?

14. Is it possible to apply liners (beam elements), bolts and cables?

15. What procedure is used for forming excavation geometry?

16. In Examine3D , can different boundary (primary) stresses be applied in x- y-and z-directions?

17. Can a model created by Examine3D version 3.0 be read into Examine3D version 4.0?

18. Can I use symmetry?

19. How can DXF file entities be imported?

20. What boundary element formulation does Examine3D utilize (FF, DD or both)?

21. Is it necessary to use a staged approach to model the mining of complex 3D excavations?

22. Does the "stress path" or the "loading path" of the rock have to be modeled to reasonably represent the stresses induced in the rock mass remaining around the excavations?

23. Is there a restriction on the file size or the number of nodes in Examine3D ?

24. Is it possible to import a model file in DXF format that has been written by Vulcan or Envisage?

25. Can Examine 3D tabulate the stresses at different locations so that it can be manipulated in a spreadsheet or similar application?

26. How are the ubiquitous joints implemented in Examine3D ?

27. How is data data visualization in the Interpreter done in Examine3D ?

28. Is Examine3D suitable for the analysis of near surface excavation ?
