Few questions we are often asked:

How many blocks should I throw to assess the rockfall hazard using probabilistic software?

Is the number of blocks reaching the protection sufficient?

Can I have confidence in the protection design?

Is the dimensioning of the protection realistic in terms of height and energy?

With RocPro3D, you can answer these questions by checking the convergence of the statistical indicator (quantile, confidence limit…) of the parameters (height, energy…) chosen to dimension the protection.

In one click, you can visualize the evolution of this statistical indicator. Thus make a fully informed decision on the quality of the dimensioning according to the number of blocks reaching the protection. And finally answer the initially asked question.
