Constitutive Models
  • Thermodynamically consistent effective-stress model for unsaturated soils—with control over strength attenuation toward dryness
  • Mohr–Coulomb failure across the full saturation range (one criterion from dry to saturated) for problems where moisture changes matter—seasonal suction, wetting fronts, and partially saturated slopes and foundations
  • Unified sand–clay framework, including generalized clay models for variably saturated conditions
  • Cyclic and anisotropic soil behavior models, including the SANISAND family
  • Hysteretic and advanced soil‑water retention formulations for realistic wetting/drying response
  • …and many more

Applications

Designed for demanding projects

From routine analysis to complex multiphysics—Falcon delivers.

Tunnels & caverns

Staged excavation, support sequencing, convergence monitoring, and multi-opening interaction.

Slopes & embankments

Progressive failure, rainfall-induced instability, and large-deformation runout analysis.

Ground assessment & UQ

Site characterization, parameter sensitivity, and uncertainty quantification for risk-informed design.

Foundations

Settlement prediction, group effects, and soil–structure interaction in 2D/3D.

Ground improvement

Preloading, surcharging, stabilization efficacy, and long-term performance.

Seismic & liquefaction

Earthquake response, pore-pressure buildup, and full transient-to-dissipation cycles.

Credibility

Built by geotechnical engineers & software experts

Falcon is developed by a team with deep expertise in both geomechanics and software engineering. We understand the challenges of real engineering practice—from the need for reliable convergence in complex models to the importance of clear, auditable workflows that stand up to review.

Early collaborators

We’re working with advisors and early testers across civil/geotech practice and research. If you’re running complex staged models, multiphysics simulations, or pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with current tools, we want your feedback to shape Falcon’s development.

FAQ

Answers upfront

If you’re evaluating tools for critical geotechnical decisions, these are the questions you should ask.

When will Falcon launch?

We’re pre-launch. The beta is rolling—approved testers get access as features stabilize. We’ll share timelines by email.

How will pricing work?

Pre-launch pricing is by early access. Beta is free for approved testers. We’ll offer Academic, Professional, and Enterprise options.

What platforms will you support?

We’re targeting Windows, Linux, and macOS. Cloud execution is on the roadmap for enterprise workflows.

Does Falcon support 2D and 3D?

Yes—Falcon supports both 2D and 3D workflows so you can choose the right fidelity for the decision and timeline.

Do you support dynamics and coupled/fully coupled analysis?

Yes—Falcon supports dynamics plus coupled and fully coupled workflows, including runs that span transient response through consolidation and dissipation.

Do you support contact mechanics and multiphysics?

Yes—Falcon includes contact and interface modeling, plus multiphysics coupling for problems where interaction across boundaries governs response.

Can I import/export models and results?

We’ll support common mesh and data export formats and keep integrations pragmatic. Tell us what your team needs during beta.

How do you handle data privacy and IP?

We treat project data as sensitive. You can keep all models and data local on your machine.
