This four-day course (eight 4-hour sessions) provides guidance in the use of the Itasca codes PFC2D and PFC3D to simulate the mechanical behavior of granular and solid materials. The focus is on simulating the fracture and flow of brittle rock-like materials. The PFC codes provide a general distinct-element engine along with PYTHON and the embedded language FISH, which provide full access to the internal variables of the model and allow one to implement user-defined behaviors. Most PFC modeling requires the use of PYTHON and/or FISH. After the distinct-element framework that forms the theoretical basis for PFC is understood and PYTHON/FISH is mastered, the PFC codes can be used to simulate any physical process whose physics can be described by the interactions of discrete bodies. The course combines lectures with hands-on modeling exercises; thus, each student should have their own laptop computer on which the PFC codes can be run.
