This training is an introduction to continuous modeling with FLAC2D and FLAC3D. At the end of the course, participants will master the graphical interface, documentation and the main modeling steps. Concepts are illustrated using a tunnel excavation example, from building the model geometry to results analysis. This introductory course provides the foundation for more advanced use of the software, which can be covered in more specific training modules.
Geared toward new users, FLAC Basics is an introduction to the application of Itasca's FLAC software in geotechnical engineering. FLAC 8 Basics is based on the original FLAC Basics text first written in 1993 and extends the documentation to demonstrate the power and ease-of-use of FLAC's graphical user interface and new features in FLAC version 8.0 to facilitate the solution of complex geotechnical problems.
