EX3 across Applications

  • Excavations
  • Mining
  • Tunnels

Excavations

Model any type of excavation and incorporate staged excavations with ease.

Excavations

Mining

Efficient modelling of underground mines. Use pre-defined and user-defined results to investigate all aspects of your design.

Mining Application

Tunnels

Model underground tunnels to find stress intensity at the intersection of multi-crossing tunnels and more.

Tunnels EX3

EX3 seamlessly integrates with

  • RS3

+

Seamlessly import your RS3 models into EX3 or vice versa. This interoperability allows you to convert your geometry, assign materials, field stress and regions of interest into a model that is ready to compute after loading.

  • General contour planes on field point boxes

    Better visualize stress and displacement distribution by defining the counter plane in a desired orientation in the field point box.

  • Field Points Defined on any Surface

    Pick any surface in your model and visualize the results of that specific area.

  • Property Overlay Tables

    Use the property table to get a summary of all material and joint properties in the model and display them in their report.
