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.
Cable elements in 3DEC may be assigned a tensile yield force limit and an axial rupture strain in order to simulate cable rupture. 3DEC can also simulate the shearing resistance along the cable length between the grout and either the cable or the host material.
This tutorial will guide you through how to create a fractured Synthetic Rock Mass (SRM) specimen.
Sishen mine in South Africa is one of the largest open-pit iron mines in the world.
With increasing depth, higher stress and more difficult mining. With increasing depth is there more ground surface effects or less?
