The full UDEC feature record, grouped as the catalogue groups it. This is the product as a whole; the record does not map every feature onto a specific tier.

People bring UDEC in for two dimensional distinct element modelling of jointed and fractured rock, assessing stability of blocky rock slopes and underground excavations, simulating fluid flow through rock fractures in mining and tunnelling. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to UDEC are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
How that compares in Mining & Resources
Too few mining & resources tools in this directory publish a starting price to quote a meaningful median, so the table below is a like-for-like list rather than a ranking.

Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the UDEC badges page.
Before you pay for UDEC
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 $19000/year. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare UDEC against the tools that do have one before committing.
UDEC runs on windows, linux, and is published by Itasca Consulting Group of Minneapolis, Minnesota. The full record is on the UDEC review, and the rest of the category is under best mining & resources tools.

- UDEC publishes a single tier, UDEC Professional, at $19000/year.
- Does UDEC have a free plan?
- Not on the record we hold: UDEC is listed as subscription. Whether a free trial is offered is not something this record captures, so check the vendor's site.

- The record lists 11 features across 3 areas: core, integrations, platform. In practice it is brought in for two dimensional distinct element modelling of jointed and fractured rock, assessing stability of blocky rock slopes and underground excavations, simulating fluid flow through rock fractures in mining and tunnelling.
- Does UDEC 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 UDEC 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.
