Examine3D is an engineering analysis program for underground excavations
in rock. Examine 3D was developed mainly for stress analysis, although
its data visualization tools can be applied to a wide range of three-
dimensional mining and civil engineering data. For example, Examine3D
has been used to visualize microseismic datasets such as seismic velocity,
source parameters, and event density.

Examine3D consists of three program modules: Model generates the geometry
and boundary element discretization for underground openings, Compute
performs the computation of stresses and displacements, using the direct
boundary element method and Interpret, with 3D animation capability,
visualizes the analysis results. Each of the three modules can be run
independently. For example, the input data for Compute can be generated
using Model or some other CAD based program. Similarly, Interpret accepts
data from Compute or from some other source. Both Model and Interpret
are fully interactive and menu-driven programs.
