FracSTAT: Creating and Managing Projects
Learn how to create and manage a project in FracSTAT in this step-by-step tutorial. This video demonstrates the complete project workflow, including creating a new project, importing fracture data using SVG and Excel formats, performing scale calibration for SVG data, accessing the Static Analyzer, saving project information, opening and managing existing projects, and deleting a project when it is no longer required.

How to Trace Fractures from Outcrop Images in FracSTAT
In this tutorial, I demonstrate the complete Trace Map workflow in FracSTAT, starting with loading an outcrop photograph and manually digitizing visible fractures. I show how to use the tracing tools, edit and manage fracture traces, work with vector layers, save the Trace Map to the FracSTAT project, and return to the Static Analyzer.
