Parametric Discontinuity Dataset 1 (PDD1)

Parametric Discontinuity Dataset 1 (PDD1) is a colelction of 5000 meshes that comprise synthetic rock mass models in the form of 10 x 10 x 10 m cubes with discontinuities. The dataset was created as part of the paper "Rock Mass Structure Characterization Considering Finite and Folded Discontinuities: A Parametric Study" (link) where also a closer description can be found. PDD1 was then also used in a follow up study "Is Complexity the Answer to the Continuum vs. Discontinuum Question in Rock Engineering?" by Georg Erharter and Davide Elmo (2025) (link).
