In this tutorial, we review how to automatically skin models, identify and group zone faces, and interactively select and group zones and zone faces. This tutorial also illustrates using the Model Pane to interactively add a shell structural element along a tunnel.
This tutorial steps through the actions necessary to quickly create and solve a FLAC3D model. The focus of this tutorial is to provide you with a basic familiarity with the user interface and recommended work flow.
In this example, you will see how to create your own custom plot of drill core data containing location, orientation, depth, and geotechnical data (lithography. fracture count, rock strength, weathering, and RMR).
With increasing depth, higher stress and more difficult mining. With increasing depth is there more ground surface effects or less?
The challenges of mining economically have never been greater than under current global financial conditions.
It has become common practice to create a three-dimensional (3-D) geomechanical model for the analysis of rock stability.
