Now Available from ITASCA: Innovative Machine Learning Tool for FLAC3D/FLAC2D V9.2
Minneapolis, Minnesota – October 4, 2024 – ITASCA is proud to introduce a groundbreaking modeling tool based on Machine Learning (ML), setting a new standard in geotechnical software. This revolutionary addition empowers users of all skill levels to swiftly test various model outcomes by simply adjusting model parameters via user-friendly sliders—no scripting required.
Experience the Future of Geotechnical Modeling with ITASCA’s Machine Learning Models
The Rock Slope Tool, ITASCA’s initial ML model offering, focuses on the common geotechnical and civil engineering task of calculating factor of safety for a rock slope. This tool lets you instantly assess slope stability under various conditions, helping you design safer, more efficient solutions. The rock slope tool calculates the factor of safety for a rock slope using the Hoek-Brown model, based on slope height, slope angle, and various site-specific conditions and material properties.
The model leverages advanced ITASCA machine learning research, incorporating a vast dataset to enhance the accuracy of its analysis and predictions. By applying machine learning techniques to this extensive data, the model improves its ability to identify patterns and relationships within complex geotechnical conditions. This approach enables more reliable and efficient assessments, providing users with insights grounded in a combination of traditional geomechanical principles and cutting-edge data-driven technologies. The result is a tool that offers enhanced predictive power, leading to better decision-making in slope stability and related applications. Future releases will include additional models, expanding your ability to tackle a broader range of geotechnical challenges with ease.
