Numerical Modeling in Micromechanics Via Particle Methods
Proceedings of the First International PFC Symposium

Gelsenkirchen, Germany
6-8 November 2002
Heinz Konietzky, Editor

Code users who did not have the chance to attend the first PFC conference may want to consider obtaining a copy of the proceedings from this event.

These proceedings (as well as proceedings from earlier FLAC and PFC conferences) are available from Taylor & Francis Books. Taylor & Francis is one the richest resources in print when it comes to discussion of the application of Itasca codes.

Numerical Modeling in Micromechanics Via Particle Methods
Proceedings of the Second International PFC Symposium

Code users who did not have the chance to attend the second PFC conference may want to consider obtaining a copy of the proceedings from this event.

These proceedings (as well as proceedings from earlier FLAC and PFC conferences) are available from Taylor & Francis Books. Taylor & Francis is one the richest resources in print when it comes to discussion of the application of Itasca codes.

Itasca will host the first-ever FLAC/DEM Conference on August 25-27, 2008 in Minneapolis. The conference will feature topics and discussions covering the spectrum of Itasca software: FLAC, FLAC3D, UDEC, 3DEC, PFC2D, and PFC3D. Where past Itasca-sponsored conferences have limited their scope to a single 2D/3D code pair, this conference, in considering all the codes, will offer a complete look at the state of numerical modeling with Itasca software.

The Symposium will be held at The Depot Minneapolis, A Renaissance Hotel located at 225 3rd Ave South, Minneapolis, MN 55401. On August 24, the day preceding the start of the conference, three one-day short courses will be offered on FLAC/FLAC3D, UDEC/3DEC, and PFC2D/PFC3D. The symposium is hosted by Itasca Consulting Group Inc. Dr. Christine Detournay, Dr. Roger Hart, and Ms. Michele Nelson are the conference organizers.
