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 1 of 3)

This FLAC 8.1 tutorial demonstrates how to establish the stresses in the dry embankment prior to the formation of the upstream reservoir.

How to Paint Model Data onto Geometry

3DEC, FLAC3D, and UDEC allow you to quickly analyze your model data by visualizing properties and results by “painting” zone field values onto some geometry (DXF, STL or GEOM format). Learn how this is done.
