GDM-SYNARC The project
The agreement between GEODATA and BRGM – the French Geological Survey – in 1997 was the onset for the development of two innovative software packages for geological and geotechnical applications: GDM and SYNARC.
The result
GDM can handle geo-referenced stratigraphical data and 3D geological models, using interpretative borehole logs, interpolated in space, and the automatic generation of geological and geotechnical plans and cross-sections.
SYNARC has become an essential tool for undertaking morphological and structural analysis using D.E.M. models and is capable of generating a detailed interpretative cartographic map and showing the results of multicriteria analysis.

DAT: Decision Aids for Tunnelling The project
A 15–year-long collaboration with M.I.T. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) and EPFL (Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne) with some fundamental contributions of GEODATA.
The resultA powerful software package that is able to simulate the construction of large infrastructures and to verify, through a probabilistic approach, the feasibility of the project with respect to time and cost on the basis of the variability of geological data and construction techniques adopted.
GDM for Windows
for the management, representation and modelling of geological data.
SES Subway Environmental Simulation
a modelling tool for underground metro line networks.
Opentrack
This railway traffic simulator produced by the Zurich Polytechnic (ETH) can simulate the service conditions of the infrastructure. This is achieved by modelling the real movement of trains according to physical laws on the basis of the actual horizontal and vertical alignment of the track, the specifications of the locomotive, the weight towed and the signal systems.
