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.

FLAC3D 6 0 Model Generation using the Building Blocks Handle
An Introduction to Python Scripting: Part 3
Introduction to Python scripting by reviewing key concepts and through demonstrations. Part 3 focuses on modules and packages, with a focus on NumPy and Matplotlib.
Working with Building Blocks in FLAC3D 6 (Part 1)
This video demonstrates using a library set of Building Blocks as a starting point for creating a new model. In this example, cylindrical blocks are snapped together to represent a tunnel and intersected with other blocks representing a nearby wall.

Mine Dewatering in a Compartmentalized Hydrogeologic Setting at Sishen Mine in South Africa
Sishen mine in South Africa is one of the largest open-pit iron mines in the world.
The nexus between groundwater modeling, pit lake chemogenesis and ecological risk from arsenic in the Getchell Main Pit, Nevada, U.S.A.
The proliferation of mine pits that intersect the groundwater table has engendered interest in environmental consequences of the lakes that form after cessation of dewatering.
Depressurising an Underground Ore Body at the McArthur River Mine in Northern Saskatchewan, Canada
Pre-mining depressurising of a deep ore body at the McArthur River mine in northern Saskatchewan was considered to decrease the risk associated with mining near 5 MPa water pressure and increasing the amount of ore that can be extracted.
