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.
Introduction to Python scripting by reviewing key concepts and through demonstrations. Part 3 focuses on modules and packages, with a focus on NumPy and Matplotlib.
This tutorial will guide you through how to create a simple material using the linear parallel bond-model.
Mesh quality is crucial for the stability, accuracy, and fast convergence of numerical simulations. However, given the geometrical complexity of some models and the tools available for mesh creation, it is often necessary to accept meshes that deviate significantly from the known ideal shape.
With increasing depth, higher stress and more difficult mining. With increasing depth is there more ground surface effects or less?
It has become common practice to create a three-dimensional (3-D) geomechanical model for the analysis of rock stability.
