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.
Itasca can estimate the dewatering needs of a construction site or mine to temporarily lower groundwater levels below the natural groundwater level, in all seasons, to provide for safe excavation construction and working environment during operations. Itasca can predict dewatering rates, including numerical modeling to estimate dewatering and design and optimize the dewatering and water-disposal systems, drain holes, and monitoring wells.
