3D Finite Element Analysis for Rock & Soil
software tools for rock and soil

WHAT IS RS3?
RS3 is an all-purpose 3D finite element analysis program that can be used for a wide range of civil and mining
applications in both rock and soil, such as underground excavations, sequenced tunneling, surface excavations, piled
raft foundations, slope stability, seepage analysis, consolidation analysis, and much more.
