This training supplies the tools needed to describe and apply the workflow for dynamic analysis in FLAC3D, demonstrating a comprehensive understanding of each step involved, including model setup, boundary conditions, input signal application, and damping, to effectively analyze dynamic behavior in geotechnical simulations.
Itasca’s finite volume (FV) approach uses the shear strength reduction (SSR) method for numerical modeling. This formulation is far superior to more traditional limit equilibrium (LE) methods and offers several advantages over finite element (FE) methods as well.
In addition to continuum modeling, Itasca also offers engineering analysis using its DEM software—UDEC and 3DEC for jointed and blocky rock, and PFC for brittle intact rock, granular, or synthetic rock mass (SRM) engineering as well as for fundamental research.
