Itascas latest versions offer many new features and are optimized to run faster on todays computers.
Academic institutions qualify for special pricing discounts. The main commands used by FLAC3D are encapsulated on the list below. Itasca is celebrating its 40 th anniversary this year and to mark the occasion you can receive a 40 discount when you upgrade 3DEC, FLAC, FLAC3D, PFC, or UDEC version 4.0 (or earlier). It is designed to accommodate any kind of geotechnical engineering project where continuum analysis is necessary.
FLAC3D is used in analysis, testing, and design by geotechnical, civil, and mining engineers. Such analyses include engineering design, factor of safety prediction, research and testing, and back-analysis of failure.
Perpetual, monthly lease, and annual lease licenses are available as either a local USB-key (which is portable) or a multiple-seat network USB-key. FLAC3D is a numerical modeling code for advanced geotechnical analysis of soil, rock, and structural support in three dimensions. FLAC3D (Fast Lagrangian Analysis of Continua in 3 Dimensions) is numerical modeling software for geotechnical analyses of soil, rock, groundwater, constructs, and ground support. Using interfaces, FLAC3D can also simulate discontinuities such as faults, joints, bedding planes, and engineered boundaries along constructs.*įLAC3D utilizes an explicit finite volume formulation that captures the complex behaviors of models that consist of several stages, show large displacements and strains, exhibit non-linear material behavior, or are unstable (including cases of yield/failure over large areas, or total collapse). Such analyses include engineering design, factor of safety prediction, research and testing, and back-analysis of failure.Ĭontinuum analysis can be applied to engineering design of civil, mining, and geotechnical excavations (e.g., slopes, tunnels, caverns, stopes, etc.) and constructs (dams, foundations, footings, walls, etc.) in soil, intact rock, and rock masses (i.e., heavily jointed rock). FLAC3D (Fast Lagrangian Analysis of Continua in 3 Dimensions) is numerical modeling software for geotechnical analyses of soil, rock, groundwater, constructs, and ground support.
