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 Suite for Linux is collection of Itasca software (FLAC3D, 3DEC, PFC3D, and PFC2D) compiled for Linux Operating Systems, distributed as a single file. Both the Windows and Linux OS versions are available with each license at no additional cost. Model save files from either OS may be exchanged and loaded between each other.
The Linux version is available as both a GUI and console programs. The GUI program is nearly identical to the Windows version, with some differences in fonts. The Linux version runs at about the same speed of the Windows version, although Itasca is continuing to gather more data on this. A valid web license is required for each Itasca software being run.
