IMAT - Version Version 1.0 -Mining Toolbox

Analyses

• Seismic analysis (locations, magnitudes and mechanisms)
• Advanced 3D numerical modeling
• Multiple material domains
• Staged analysis
• Calculate and visualize stresses and displacements
• Import mine geometrics for visualization and model creation
• Model faults as weak zones
• Multiple constitutive models for rock including Hoek-Brown and Ubiquitous Joints. IMASS model available as an option.
• Can model failure and plasticity. Strain softening available for most constitutive models. 
• Model can generate seismic data for comparison with actual recorded data. 
• Easy movie generation for interpreting results

Ease of Use

• UI-driven experience - no scripting required
• Importing mine geometries for different stages of excavation allows for quick and easy automatic generation of staged geomechanical analysis. Hundreds of stages can be set up in seconds. 
• Easy specification of material properties and in-situ stresses through dialogs. Meaningful defaults provided.
• Common boundary conditions applied with one or two clicks.
• Simple model mesh creation (octree)
• Extensive help system including dozens of how-to videos
• Movie templates provided for easy creation of movies of common views (e.g. stress, displacement)
• Querying of stresses or displacements at specified points can be done simply by clicking on the finished model.

Powerful Capabilities

• Built on FLAC3D engine
• Combines multiple capabilities into one product
• Block model visualization
• Advanced seismic (option) analysis
• Start using IMASS (option) in your mine scale modeling

Performance

• UI driven model building and an interface targeted to mining applications makes model building faster than ever (minutes or hours instead of days or weeks)

Flexibility

• Use Basic mode to quickly run simple elastic or plastic models with no distractions
• Use Advanced mode to easily construct complex models with access to all generated FLAC3D data files to learn FLAC3D and customize models
