In this tutorial we will take a look at the different boundary conditions available to the user, and we will go over some examples of different scenarios in which they would be used.
A tutorial showing how to create an unstructured mesh in FLAC3D 7.0 using the extruder pane.
This tutorial will show how to create and manipulate zone plot items for showing model attributes and results.
Numerical models are now used routinely to predict ground-water inflows to both surface and underground mines and to help design dewatering systems.
The realism of Discrete Fracture Network (DFN) models relies on the spatial organization of fractures, which is not issued by purely stochastic DFN models. In this study, we introduce correlations between fractures by enhancing the genetic model (UFM) of Davy et al. [1] based on simplified concepts of nucleation, growth and arrest with hierarchical rules.
As part of the Hybrid Stress Blast Model (HSBM) project, Itasca has developed software to model the rock blasting process.
