Abstract: Pre-processing function for RFPA3D is not so strong that rock mass model with complex geomorphology could not be effectively and conveniently built. While SURPAC, a professional mining software, has a strong ability in modeling complex geological body. Besides, the requirement of unit types for both two softwares is hexahedral. On this basis, a method to build the model in RFPA3D from SURPAC was proposed. According to the data relationship between the two softwares, a conversion program named STOR.m was developed in MATLAB to achieve the model conversion from SURPAC to RFPA3D. The program was used in a slope instability analysis model in an open pit iron mine. Results show that the model conversion method can be applied conveniently and extends the application of SURPAC and RFPA3D.

Key words: SURPAC, RFPA3D, MATLAB, three-dimensional model, conversion program
