Débuter avec FLAC2D/FLAC3D
OnlineFeb 25, 2025 - Feb 26, 2025
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.

PFC 7 Generating A Bonded Assembly
This tutorial will guide you through how to create a simple material using the linear parallel bond-model.
Tutorial: Simple Slope Stability
Using UDEC 6 and the shear-reduction method to calculate the factor-of-safety, this tutorial will show you how to analyze the stability of a simple slope containing: (1) no discrete jointing (continuum), (2) fully-continuous jointing (discrete blocks), and (3) noncontinuous, en echelon jointing.
