Objectives of the training:
•Understand the FLAC2D/ FLAC3D numerical approach and the types ofproblems it can solve•Know how to manipulate the FLAC2D/ FLAC3D user interface to access andinterpret results•Follow the recommended solution procedure to simulate a simple case
In 3DEC, a discontinuous medium is represented as an assemblage of discrete blocks. Boundaries between blocks are treated as discontinuities along which large displacements and rotations between blocks are allowed. Individual blocks can behave as deformable material, in which case the block is subdivided into a mesh of finite difference elements (i.e., continuous assemblages of zones).
