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.
This example uses Acoustic Emission (AE) location data recorded during the pressurisation, heating and cooling of SKB’s Prototype test at the Äspö Hard rock Laboratory (Sweden). The example does not include waveforms and is designed to give an overview of the features and functionalities of InSite’s 3D Visualiser.
