Rocscience RS2 is a 2D finite element analysis software used for simulating the behavior of rock and soil masses. It's commonly employed in geotechnical engineering, rock mechanics, and mining engineering. The software helps users analyze stress, deformation, and stability of underground excavations, rock slopes, and foundations.
Boundary conditions and coupling: Ensure boundary conditions reflect in-situ stresses and that coupled processes (e.g., pore pressure) are represented if they influence crack evolution. Rocscience Rs2 Crack
