Rockyfor3D - 3D Rockfall modelling

Rockyfor3D (courtesy of L. Dorren) is a software that explicitly and realistically integrates the barrier effect of trees and nets 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
