This webinar showcased the latest updates in ITASCA Software v9.4.
New features include:
Applies to FLAC3D, FLAC2D, 3DEC, MassFlow, PFC3D, and PFC2D:
New UI object tree that:
Provides quick and easy access to information about model objects, model files, and program settings
Permits quick plotting of objects (zones, structural elements, walls), histories, and charts
Permits quick listing of information in the Console
Provides quick access to related help topics
Permits streamlined watch information for selected parameters
Export all (or only visible) 1D structural element (e.g., cables, rock bolts, beams, piles) data to tables and plot as charts or export to a CSV file
Many updates of documentation, including links to YouTube videos
Improvement on cut-plane where individual plot items can select a cut plane to sync to from a drop-down list
Add geometry command to create geometry edges from txt or csv file. Add hide null gridpoint option
Put zone joints to the results dialog
Improved Rapid Tool to calculate Hoek-Brown material properties
Applies to FLAC3D and FLAC2D:
CASM (Clay and Sand Model) constitutive model for assessing the static liquefaction potential of tailings dams from a relatively small set of material parameters, most of which can be calibrated from standard laboratory tests
Applies to FLAC3D:
Plot Moment-Thrust and Shear-Thrust diagrams for structural elements
Applies to FLAC2D:
Dynamic axisymmetric analysis
Plot 2D contour isolines and include labels
Plot grid points as labels or contoured in 2D
Trigon (triangular) option added to the Voronoi Wizard
Create lines in Sketch from an imported table of points
Seven new examples and one updated example:
Axisymmetric Model of an Advancing Lined Shaft
Consolidation of an Embankment using Soft Soil
Consolidation of an Embankment using Mohr-Coulomb
Lined Tunnel in Saturated Ground
Saturation and Draining of a Caisson
Capillary Infiltration in a Dry Caisson
Deformation caused by filling of a Caisson
Updated dynamic analysis of a Tailings Dam to include CASM
Embankment Consolidation of Mohr Coulomb soil materials.
Embankment Consolidation of soft soil materials.
Applies to 3DEC:
Fluid flow in 3DEC now works for meshes imported from Griddle
Applies to MassFlow:
Massive simulation speedup in MassFlow when you have lots of draw points and lots of markers
Applied to PFC:
Add bonded-particle modeling document.
New features and improvements since 9.3:
FLAC3D/FLAC2D:
Sketch: add an option to combine DFN
Extruder page accepts drops
Enable MPI creep with cluster option
Cable Pull Rapid Tool update
3DEC:
Allow for more than one face group
PFC:
Add Hill contact model for rigid-block to rigid-block contacts
This webinar is tailored for professionals in engineering, geosciences, and related fields who are eager to explore cutting-edge software innovations in the latest ITASCA Software and enhancing their numerical modeling work. We look forward to having you attend the event!
