Dips is designed for the interactive analysis of orientation based geological data. The program is capable of many applications and is designed for both the novice user and for the accomplished user of stereographic projection who wishes to utilize more advanced tools in the analysis of geological data. Dips allows the user to analyze and visualize structural data following the same techniques used in manual stereonets. In addition, it has many computational features, such as statistical contouring of orientation clustering, mean orientation and confidence calculation, cluster variability, kinematic analysis, and qualitative and quantitative feature attribute analysis. Dips is designed for the analysis of features related to the engineering analysis of rock structures, however, the free format of the Dips data file permits the analysis of any orientation-based data. * * * Seller [Rocscience](https://www.g2.com/sellers/rocscience) Discussions [Dips Community](https://www.g2.com/products/dips/discuss) Languages Supported English Overview by Rocscience Inc.

Resource Consultant Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 9/19/2022 "Well developed and designed software for slope stability analysis and study." 5/5 What do you like best about Dips? The user interface, Rose diagrams and stereonet easily display the data. Most options related to the stereonet and rose charts were on toolbars, which is handy. Unfortunately, I don't have the software, but I learn this from youtube, so I will be ready when I have this software in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Dips? There was nothing to dislike or mention about it. However, in my opinion, some 3D display end export options for slope analysis results would be great to have for the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Dips solving and how is that benefiting you? This software should be helpful to a geoscientist to get ideas about their structural measurements from the field. So if it has a portable version connected with Ar or VR and measurement devices. That would be awesome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Senior Geotechnical Engineer Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 9/6/2022 "Dips: A Comprehensive tool for Rock Excavations Analyses" 5/5 What do you like best about Dips? Dips is a handy tool I have been using since 2015 to analyze rock excavations in slopes and tunnels. Dips provide insight into rock mass properties and help you compare them easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Dips? I don't dislike anything. However, I would like to suggest that, while entering data into DIPS, the data format is critical, i.e., dip/strike or dip/dip direction. I have seen my colleagues making correct data entries but using the wrong orientation format, thus showing different results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Dips solving and how is that benefiting you? Dips has simplified the kinematic analyses so much that one can check the stability by looking at the stereonets. The graphical representation of discontinuities helps Help in rock mass classification. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
