People bring 3DEC in for three-dimensional analysis of jointed rock and discontinuous materials, slope stability and pillar analysis for mining, blast and earthquake dynamic analysis, groundwater flow through fractured rock, coupled thermal, mechanical and hydraulic modelling for geothermal, co2 sequestration and nuclear waste. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to 3DEC are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
Before you pay for 3DEC
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: a single tier at $25000/year. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare 3DEC against the tools that do have one before committing.
3DEC runs on windows, linux, and is published by Itasca Consulting Group of Minneapolis, Minnesota. The full record is on the 3DEC review.
3DEC pricing questions
- How much does 3DEC cost?
- 3DEC publishes a single tier, 3DEC Professional, at $25000/year.
- Does 3DEC have a free plan?
- Not on the record we hold: 3DEC is listed as subscription. Whether a free trial is offered is not something this record captures, so check the vendor's site.
- What am I actually paying for with 3DEC?
- The record lists 11 features across 3 areas: core, integrations, platform. In practice it is brought in for three-dimensional analysis of jointed rock and discontinuous materials, slope stability and pillar analysis for mining, blast and earthquake dynamic analysis.
- Does 3DEC charge per user?
- The record carries a price and a billing period for each of its 1 tiers, but not the unit that price is charged in. Per-seat and flat-rate billing look identical in this data, so check the vendor's page before budgeting for a team.
- Are these 3DEC prices current?
- They are what the catalogue entry holds, refreshed when the entry is. Vendors change pricing without notice and nobody at Softwr re-verifies each tier by hand, so treat this as a structured summary and the vendor's own pricing page as the authority.
- What should I compare 3DEC against before paying?
- Nothing else in this directory is filed close enough to 3DEC to make a useful price comparison.
