Rocscience Software
Introduction
Starting Spring 2014, the CEE Department commenced participation in Rocscience's Education Program allowing students access to their geotechnical analysis and design programs.
Associate Professor Anne Lemnitzer, Ph.D., spearheaded the program for HSSOE and the software will be used in the following courses:
CEE 156 Foundation Design
CEE 231 Foundation Engineering (Graduate)
CEE 232 Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering (Graduate)

ROCSCIENCE AND MACS
We don’t officially support our software on Mac computers, however we had reports of users successfully running it on these machines. Keep in mind that Personal or Evaluation licenses can only be installed in Boot Camp environment – they will not function when using Parallels or any software which runs Windows as a virtual machine.

Rocscience’s easy to use geotechnical analysis and design programs help engineers create safe, affordable solutions in rock and soil. For a nominal fee, our Education Program gives instructors at the world’s leading universities the ability to offer their students full use of the latest Rocscience software. Rocscience software complements your instruction and helps you teach key approaches to today’s most relevant geotechnical engineering problems including:
• slope stability & groundwater analysis, complete with probabilistic analysis, using Slide
• consolidation & settlement under foundations, embankments, surface excavations using Settle3D
• stability analysis for underground or surface wedges using Unwedge or Swedge
• finite element stress analysis of underground or surface excavations using Phase2
• stereonet projection & analysis of orientation based geological data using Dips
• 3D finite element analysis for rock/soil using RS3
