RAMMS::ROCKFALL 1.6.70: The 3D Engine for Rockfall Hazard Mitigation RAMMS::ROCKFALL 1.6.70 (Rapid Mass Movement Simulation) is a specialized, physics-based software for the three-dimensional simulation and quantitative analysis of rockfall events. Developed by the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research (WSL) and the ETH Zurich, it is the premier tool for geotechnical engineers, geologists, and civil engineers to assess rockfall hazards, predict rock trajectories, and design effective mitigation structures like barriers, nets, and dams. Core Function: Predicting Rock Behavior on Real Terrain The software’s primary function is to simulate the complex, stochastic movement of falling rocks in 3D. It calculates the probable trajectories, runout distances, bounce heights, and kinetic energies of thousands of simulated rockfalls on a high-resolution...
