WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT
Why Choose IMAT?
Explore IMAT's comprehensive features and user-friendly interface. Unlock powerful computing capabilities without needing to build meshes or work with data files or scripting. Discover why IMAT is the ideal choice:
Analyses
Powered by FLAC3D for accuracy and results you can trust
Multiple material domains
Calculate and visualize stresses and displacements
Import mine geometries for visualization and model creation
Multiple constitutive models for rock including Hoek-Brown and Ubiquitous Joints
Model failure and plasticity
Seismic option for comparing synthetic and site seismicity (locations, magnitudes and mechanisms) to validate models with real-world data and see the unseeable to better understand your operation
IMASS option for powerful strain-softening analysis of mining
Ease of Use
UI-driven modeling with no scripting needed and clear property specification to increase efficiency and reduce errors
Simulate the mine plan as a series of staged excavations, incorporating real-time into FLAC3D and allowing easy comparison between model results and real-world measured information
Easy specification of material properties and in-situ stresses through dialogs with meaningful defaults included
Easy model creation via automatic octree generation
Extensive help system including dozens of how-to videos
Querying of stresses or displacements at specified points can be done simply by clicking on the finished model
Easy movie generation for interpreting results
