  • Import pore pressures values to gridpoints from MINEDW *.mdp or CSV files (x, y, z, pore pressure) NEW

FLEXIBLE

  • Highly customizable UI NEW and modeling
  • All licenses permit two instances of FLAC3D to be run on the same computer
  • Access and modify almost all variables (including “EXTRA” variables for zones, piles, gridpoints, etc.) via FISH/Python
  • Import and export any ASCII data format
  • UDMs can be written in C++ using Visual Studio template

ANALYSES

  • Static and dynamic stability
  • Automatic factor of safety analysis (shear strength reduction method)
  • Back-analyze failure and calibrate forward-prediction
  • Parametric studies via FISH or Python
  • Service limit state (SLS) and ultimate limit states (ULS) based on displacements

  • Simulate material damage and failure
  • Effective stress using conventional or complex pore pressure distributions
  • Fluid flow, seepage, and consolidation
  • Coupled ground-structure interaction (beams, cables, piles, shells, geotextiles, liners)
  • Simulate discontinuities (faults, joints, bedding planes, and construction boundaries) using interfaces; capture yielding or failure, shear displacements, opening, and closure along them
  • Static and dynamic liquefaction
