Stereonets |
|
Create stereonets and perform planar analyses - rotation, strike/dip, etc. |
| Tools for stereonets and planar analysis |
|
The RockWorks Utilities offers a detailed suite of tools for creating stereonets and performing planar analyses. |
|
| Data used to create stereonets |
Stereonets can be created from strike and dip (or dip-direction, dip-angle) data; plot linear, planar, or rake features on stereonets.
