Live in-person introductory training course. This four-day course provides guidance in the use of the Itasca codes PFC2D and PFC3D to simulate the mechanical behavior of granular and solid materials.
This option can be used to simulate the behavior of materials that exhibit creep (i.e., time-dependent material behavior).
There are ten available material models in FLAC2D that simulate viscoelastic and viscoplastic (creep) behavior:
All ten models are available with the creep option. A FLAC2D grid can be configured for both a creep calculation and a dynamic (option) calculation. However, both models are generally not used simultaneously because of the widely different timesteps. In addition, it is also possible for users to write their own creep constitutive models using the C++ UDM option.
