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.
ITASCA is proud to introduce groundbreaking modeling based on large model Machine Learning (ML), setting a new standard in geotechnical software. This revolutionary addition empowers users of all skill levels to swiftly test various model outcomes by simply adjusting model parameters via user-friendly sliders—no scripting required.
BUILT on DECADES of EXPERTISE
Our ML models are built upon over forty years of consulting experience, drawing from our extensive history of developing sophisticated models for clients. This expertise is now embedded in FLAC2D and FLAC3D, offering a robust and reliable foundation for your geotechnical modeling needs.
KEY BENEDITS of ML MODELS
Ease of Use: Transform your modeling experience with intuitive parameter adjustments. The slider-based interface allows you to explore different outcomes quickly and effortlessly, regardless of your technical background.
Rapid Insights: The ability to instantly change model inputs and see continuous model outcomes allows you to rapidly build physical insights into the geotechnical problem. Insights and understanding are reached much faster than the traditional paradigm of inputting new parameters and rerunning a model.
Backed by the proven FLAC engine: Use the machine learning tool to get a rapid answer, and for more detailed results and visualization, optionally use the “Run in FLAC” button to launch the same calculation in FLAC.
Speed and Efficiency: Instantly visualize the impact of parameter changes on your model, enabling rapid scenario testing and decision-making.
No Scripting Required: Focus on the results, not the code. Our ML models eliminate the need for scripting, making advanced modeling more accessible.

NEW ML MODELS in FLAC2D v9.2
ITASCA’s initial ML model offering focuses on the common geotechnical and civil engineering task of calculating factor of safety for a rock slope.
Rock Slope tool: Quickly assess slope stability under various conditions, helping you design safer, more efficient solutions. The rock slope tool calculates the factor of safety for a rock slope using the Hoek-Brown model, based on slope height, slope angle, and various site-specific conditions and material properties.
The model leverages advanced ITASCA machine learning research, incorporating a vast dataset to enhance the accuracy of its analysis and predictions. By applying machine learning techniques to this extensive data, the model improves its ability to identify patterns and relationships within complex geotechnical conditions. This approach enables more reliable and efficient assessments, providing users with insights grounded in a combination of traditional geomechanical principles and cutting-edge data-driven technologies. The result is a tool that offers enhanced predictive power, leading to better decision-making in slope stability and related applications. Future releases will include additional models, expanding your ability to tackle a broader range of geotechnical challenges with ease.
