IMAT Workshop
Toronto, Ontario, CanadaJun 5, 2024 - Jun 6, 2024
ITASCA is launching IMAT (Itasca's Mining Analysis Toolbox) our groundbreaking software tailored exclusively for underground and open pit mining applications at the ITASCA Symposium in Toronto, June 2024.
Software Tutorials
MINEDW Tutorial (Part 3: Boundary Conditions)
In this tutorial we will take a look at the different boundary conditions available to the user, and we will go over some examples of different scenarios in which they would be used.
FLAC3D 7.0 Plot Range Tutorial
This tutorial will show how to create and manipulate plot range elements in FLAC3D. Each plot-item in a plot may have one or more range elements that shows the portion which lies within the defined range, while removing from view the portion of the plot-item that lies outside it. Plot-item ranges may also be copied and applied to other plot-items.
Homogeneous Embankment Dam Analysis (Part 3 of 3)
This FLAC 8.1 tutorial demonstrates how to update the soil densities and the effective stresses in the embankment.
Technical Papers
Graph-based flow modeling approach adapted to multiscale discrete-fracture-network models
In this study, we address the issue of using graphs to predict flow as a fast and relevant substitute to classical DFNs. We consider two types of graphs, whether the nodes represent the fractures or the intersections between fractures.
Advanced three-dimensional geomechanical and hydrogeological modelling for a deep open pit
Elastic Properties of Fractured Rock Masses With Frictional Properties and Power Law Fracture Size Distributions
We derive the relationships that link the general elastic properties of rock masses to the geometrical properties of fracture networks, with a special emphasis to the case of frictional crack surfaces.
We extend the well-known elastic solutions for free-slipping cracks to fractures whose plane resistance is defined by an elastic fracture (shear) stiffness ks and a stick-slip Coulomb threshold.
