Pre- and post-processing software in geomechanics application of finite and boundary element packages

This paper presents details of pre- and post-processing software designed particularly for presentation of data and results for three-dimensional finite element and boundary element program particularly suited to geomechanics applications. The examples given in the paper deal with stress analysis of openings in a pre-mining stress field and shows its versatility and the high quality of output, particularly of stress field contours.
