    RAMMS::ROCKFALL is a new rockfall module in the RAMMS software for modeling rockfall trajectories in 3D terrain. It uses a novel contact algorithm and rigid body model to simulate individual rock trajectories based on the real rock shape. All dynamic data such as velocity, energy, and forces can be visualized. Statistical analyses can also be performed on multiple trajectories to analyze hazard zones and design protection barriers.
