This training is an introduction to continuous modeling with FLAC2D and FLAC3D. At the end of the course, participants will master the graphical interface, documentation and the main modeling steps. Concepts are illustrated using a tunnel excavation example, from building the model geometry to results analysis. This introductory course provides the foundation for more advanced use of the software, which can be covered in more specific training modules.
Among the different meshing solutions available today, hybrid meshes obtained by mixing several meshing tools represent a flexible way to obtain accurate results in civil engineering models, where both geometrical complexities and the need of a structured mesh are playing an important role.
The webinar shows how to generate a FLAC3D hybrid mesh of a tunnel system consisting of three tunnels intersecting each other by combining the use of BlockRanger and Griddle. The advantages of this type of mesh is discussed by illustrating a coupled hydro-mechanical simulation of the tunnel excavations.
