RocFall Overview

What is RocFall?

RocFall2 is a 2D statistical analysis program designed to assist with assessment of slopes at risk for rockfalls. Energy, velocity and "bounce height" envelopes for the entire slope are determined by the program, as is the location of rock endpoints. Distributions of energy, velocity and bounce height are also calculated along the slope profile. Distributions can be graphed, and comprehensive statistics are automatically calculated. RocFall2 allows the user to perform both lumped mass and rigid body rockfall analyses. RocFall2 can also assist in determining remedial measures: the material properties of each slope segment can be changed allowing for comparison of results. Information about the kinetic energy and location of impact on a barrier can help determine the capacity, size and location of barriers. RocFall2 also provides commercial flexible barrier information. Users can define a custom barrier or select one of the predefined barriers. Barrier sensitivity analysis allows the user to automatically vary the location, height, angle or capacity of barriers. RocFall2 allows you to create faster and easier high-quality output. Graphs can be exported to Excel with one click and the slope and rock-paths can easily be exported to a .dxf file for import into a CAD program. The Drawing toolkit has been improved to include importing of bitmap files, multi-line text-boxes that can be auto-filled with relevant simulation data, axes that can be dragged-and-dropped to show coordinates on a printed page and much more.

What do you like best about RocFall?

Interface of software is used friendly.

Terrain models can easily be imported by various means avoiding tedious activities to place the coordinates. Asks for minimal input and provides detailed output. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RocFall?

Precise modeling of terrain (connecting points at every 1m) sometimes leads the model to be quite heavy, which leads to analysis termination midway. If this issue is resolved, software is of great use in every aspect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is RocFall solving and how is that benefiting you?

RocFall is very handy in resolving issues pertaining to Rockfall from hill exceeding 200m in height. Provides good visualisation of path rock may follow, energy with which it would strike l, thus proving to be a useful guide in deciding protection measurese Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about RocFall?

We can create custom barriers from a large library also we can visualize rock path and endpoint distribution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RocFall?

The software is a bit overpriced and the report generated is not comprehensive. Also, the software is not well integrated with other roscience software which is a major drawback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is RocFall solving and how is that benefiting you?

Slopes susceptible to the fall of rock can be assessed with this software to a good extent. Also, it takes very less time to run a model and efficiency as an individual is increased. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about RocFall?

User can analysis by just defining the shape and size of rock to get the array of possible rockfall path, bounce height and velocity of fall. One can perform sensitivity analysis for user defined barriers or barriers of brands like Geobrugg, Maccaferri, etc Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RocFall?

This software is more of a rockfall barriers manufacturing brand specific software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is RocFall solving and how is that benefiting you?

Used it while working for project related to rockfall mitigation measures in himalayan region. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
