A model calibrated against stale or interpolated data is a model calibrated against assumptions. When the ground behaves differently than predicted, the gap is almost always in the inputs, not the engineer.
Itasca tools do serious technical work. The question is how quickly and how accurately, they can receive up to date data.
Input parameters for FLAC, FLAC3D, and 3DEC are manually extracted from geotechnical logs, lab results, spreadsheets, mapping reports. The translation step is time-consuming, error-prone, and the biggest constraint on how much certainty an engineer can use to generate a model.
The model isn't the bottleneck. The data preparation is.
Location-based 3D scanning of underground conditions in less than five minutes. Rock mass classification and other geotechnical observations captured in context. Offline-capable. 5-10 mm accuracy.
Discontinuities mapped on the mesh with point, line, and polygon tools. Orientation derived from mesh geometry and georeferencing. Rock mass classifications added or reviewed from the field. Orientation data organized alongside the mesh for visual reference.
Open formats for Itasca Handoff point DXF for geometry and model boundaries. CSV for parameter tables and classification values.
Run scenarios against field-grounded inputs. When behaviour is questioned, the inputs trace back to the underground observation.
Underground. Offline-capable. Five-minute capture with 5-10 mm accuracy on sub-$2k iPad hardware. Mapping isn't a report written later, it's a 3D coloured dataset created in place.
Strata is the structured project record where plan meets reality. Boundaries, classifications, and structural data are structured and exported to the formats Deswik expects, preserving textured meshes, mapped annotations and attributes.
DXF for discontinuity geometry and excavation boundaries, CSV for rock mass parameter tables and classification values. Visual references from underground observations to model input.
