Key features.

In contrast to the commonly accepted approaches to solving geomechanics problems, the software's mathematical engine performs explicit modeling of rock failure processes: crack formation is computed explicitly as shape changes and the disappearance of joint elements. Further interaction of the individual elements is computed by mechanical interaction algorithms.

Rock mass jointing is taken into account. The model can be populated with joint systems of any structure whose mechanical parameters differ from those of the host rock. This captures the significant influence of jointing on geomechanical processes, which is difficult to account for with conventional methods.

PROROCK accounts for the staged development of excavations, i.e. deformation development can be predicted at each stage of mining.

Dynamic processes can be analyzed in PROROCK, for example the movement and arrest of collapse bodies.

PROROCK will be distributed by subscription: users pay for the time they use the software, not for purchasing it. The cost of using it is an order of magnitude below the average contract value for geomechanical justification studies. This makes it affordable for specialists at any company, including young and small ones.

Calculations use cloud computing. The solver performs computations in the cloud, eliminating the need to purchase expensive computing hardware.

PROROCK's graphical interface is more intuitive and convenient than most existing numerical modeling solutions in geomechanics.

High-performance GPUs in the cloud make calculations faster than in desktop-only applications.

The numerical mechanical method underlying the solver produces data that cannot be obtained by other means — for example, information on joint opening, spalling magnitude, the size of the failure zone, the safety of undermined water bodies, and more.

For the user's convenience, PROROCK includes built-in tools for building charts and diagrams and many ways to display output data. Intuitive tools for generating reports after calculations will be implemented in PROROCK, minimizing the specialist's work.
