Mission

We provide numerical modelling software and services for mining and pavement engineering. We develop and support the CIRCLY, HIPAVE and APSDS pavement design packages. Our consulting business specialises in advanced numerical stress analysis for mining rock mechanics.

Mincad Systems was formed in 1987 as the first “specialist” computational mechanics group to service the numerical modelling needs of the Australian mining and geo-engineering industry. The founders, Leigh Wardle and Ken McNabb, have a combined 40 years experience. One of our principal objectives is to promote intelligent, efficient and effective use of state-of-the-art computational techniques in mining and geo-engineering.
