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.
XSite can be run on both Windows and Linux operating systems. The Linux version has the same functionalities and efficiency as the Windows version, but can be used in High Performance Computing (HPC) centers (i.e., large number of the fastest currently available machines) and includes automatic execution of parametric studies (e.g., sensitivity studies and Fracture Network Engineering).
