Rockyfor3D (courtesy of Nature Analytics) is a 3D rockfall trajectory software that explicitly and realistically integrates the barrier effect of trees and protection systems on falling rocks. The model is a spatially distributed, probabilistic, process-based model and uses a Digital Elevation Model for the representation of the terrain and raster maps for the input parameters.
The main calculations carried out by Rockyfor3D are:
- the 3D trajectory of each simulated rock
- the translational and rotational velocity along its trajectory
- the energy loss and transfers during a rebound on the slope or during a tree or net impact
