This tutorial demonstrates how you can add isosurfaces to your 3D Itasca model plots.
This paper presents the formulation of a constitutive model to simulate the behavior of foliated rock mass. The 3D elastoplastic constitutive model, called Comba, accounts for the presence of arbitrary orientations of weakness in a nonisotropic elastoplastic matrix.
The McArthur River mine in northern Saskatchewan is the largest single producer of uranium in the world.
