In this example, a pile of earth is modeled overlying undulating ground. This tutorial demonstrates how a FLAC3D model mesh can be easily created using DXF geometries and the ZONE DENSIFY command. How to differentiate parts of the model into separate GROUPs using DXF geometries and the GEOMETRY-SPACE range logic is also demonstrated.
This tutorial reviews how you can generate movies from plots with FLAC3D and most Itasca software.
The transport and placement of proppant within fractures is modeled in 3DEC by representing the proppant and fracturing fluid as a mixture.
A geochemical model was developed to predict future water quality of the Cove pit lake in support of site closure and regulatory permitting.
Numerical models are now used routinely to predict ground-water inflows to both surface and underground mines and to help design dewatering systems.
In this study, we address the issue of using graphs to predict flow as a fast and relevant substitute to classical DFNs. We consider two types of graphs, whether the nodes represent the fractures or the intersections between fractures.
