Coltop3D is a software for geological analysis and analysis of 3D point clouds. It is designed for interactive analysis of geological structures at local and regional scale from photogrammetric, airborne and terrestrial LiDAR data and Digital Terrain Models. This software supports multiple applications and is particularly optimized for visualization and structural analysis in the following areas: structural geology; natural hazards; mines and quarries; civil engineering. Coltop3D can import any point cloud from LiDAR and photogrammetric data, as well as Digital Terrain Models. The software calculates the orientation of the geological structures for each point of the imported cloud. Coltop3D is a powerful support for calculating and highlighting different families of geological structures, thanks to its unique visualization and selection tools. The orientation of the selected points can be visualized in a stereonet and basic statistics are calculated for each family. Coltop3D can represent 3D data according to many criteria (RGB, altitude, shading, etc.), and more particularly according to its remarkable color wheel hue-saturation-brightness according to the topography. Thus, each azimuth-dip orientation is represented in a unique color code, allowing rapid detection of geological structures.

The Hydrogeology module gives Leapfrog Works functionality to interoperate with MODFLOW and FEFLOW. This makes it easy to use lithology models as the basis for flow models and visualising modelling results. The Hydrogeology Solutions Kit reduces risk and delivers efficiency gains.

FB-MultiPier is a nonlinear finite element analysis program capable of analyzing multiple bridge pier structures interconnected by bridge spans. The full structure can be subject to a full array of AASHTO load types in a static analysis or time varying load functions in a dynamic analysis. Each pier structure is composed of pier columns and a cap. This structure is supported on a pile cap and piles/shafts with nonlinear soil. This analysis program couples nonlinear structural finite element analysis with nonlinear static soil models for axial, lateral and torsional soil behavior to provide a robust system of analysis for coupled bridge pier structures and foundation systems. FB-MultiPier performs the generation of the finite element model internally given the geometric definition of the structure and foundation system as input graphically by the designer. This allows the engineer to work directly with the design parameters and lessens the bookkeeping necessary to create and interpret a model. As is a necessity for design-oriented applications, FB-MultiPier automatically generates finite element models given a parametric, geometric definition of the structure and foundation system. Both input and analysis results are handled through a streamlined combination of form-based, 2D graphics, and 3D graphics windows.
