Details

This session will focus on general 3D model construction using BUILD3D. BUILD3D is the 3D geometry building component of GEOSLOPE’s GeoStudio Suite of geotechnical software. The GeoStudio suite is used for geotechnical analysis of soil and groundwater and is used extensively for analysis, testing, and design by geotechnical and civil engineers. The software is designed to accommodate geotechnical engineering projects that require continuum analysis. Topics in this session will include: Introduction to feature based modelling Creating geometry from existing 2D models Importing geometry from external sources Boolean operations, imprinting, cutting solids Assigning materials and boundary conditions Mesh generation Visualization of results About the Instructors: Dr. Edward Dzik Dr. Dzik is a geological engineer with specialization in numerical modelling software for advanced geomechanical analysis of soil, rock, and ground support. His research interests include rock fracture, advanced constitutive models for geo-materials, 3D geometry clean-up and mesh generation. Dr. Dzik is a Principal Engineer at GEOSLOPE. Erika Harrison, M.Sc. Ms. Harrison is a software developer specializing in user interface development and 3D computer graphics. Her research interests include visualization methods, data structures and algorithms for 3D graphics, and advanced user interaction techniques. Ms. Harrison is a Software Developer at GEOSLOPE.
