KATS - Kinematic Analysis Tools for Slopes

KATS (Kinematic Analysis Tools for Slopes) is a tool developed by Itasca that assesses instabilities caused by day-lighting wedges and planar failures formed when different structural sets interact with the orientation of a given slope. KATS main application is for bench-berm scale analysis, which is understood as a first step in the mining slope design process for moderate and competent rock masses. It is also possible to perform a kinematic analysis ...

PFC - Version 7.0 - General Purpose, Distinct-Element Modeling (DEM) Framework Software

PFC (Particle Flow Code) is a general purpose, distinct-element modeling (DEM) framework that is available as two- and three-dimensional programs (PFC2D and PFC3D, respectively). PFC Suite includes both PFC2D and PFC3D. PFC2D can also be purchased ...

UDEC - Version 7.0 - Universal Distinct Element Code Software

The Universal Distinct Element Code (UDEC) is a two-dimensional numerical program that simulates the quasi-static or dynamic response to loading of media containing multiple intersecting joint structures. The discontinuous medium is represented as an assemblage of discrete blocks while the discontinuities are treated as boundary conditions between blocks. Large displacements along discontinuities and rotations of blocks can occur. UDEC utilizes an ...

Minedw - Version 3.0 - Three-Dimensional (3D), Finite-Element, Groundwater Flow Program Software

MINEDW is a three-dimensional (3D), finite-element, groundwater flow program that was developed specifically for mining applications. MINEDW is used worldwide to design dewatering or depressurization systems, predict local and regional environmental impacts of mine dewatering, assist in the design of water-supply systems, simulate the infilling of a “pit lake” after mining ceases, and estimate pore-pressure distributions within highwalls ...

BlockRanger - Version 1 - All-Hexahedral, Mapped Grid Generation Software for Engineers

BlockRanger is Griddle’s interactive, easy-to-use, all-hexahedral mapped volume mesh generator. Hexahedral structured meshes provide strict control of element quality, spatial distribution, and orientation and can result in more accurate stress calculations (e.g., for tunnel linings).

Blo-Up - Hybrid Stress Blast Model (HSBM)

Since 2001, Itasca has been a member of the Hybrid Stress Blast Model (HSBM) project with the goal of developing a numerical model of the rock blasting process. The software created by Itasca, called Blo-Up, uses a unique combination of continuous and discontinuous numerical methods to represent the key processes occurring during blasting. Blo-Up is a three-component coupled model of rock blasting. A coupled modeling approach was chosen because no ...
