SNBV Support Support Download Files

The SNBV (Subspring Network Breakable Voronoi) modeling support package (snbvPkg) supports using the Subspring Network Breakable Voronoi model that includes material creation and laboratory testing (direct-tension and triaxial/biaxial in 3D/2D). The capability is provided in the snbvPkg9.N package that works with PFC version 9 (where N is the package subversion number. The SNBV model is a type of bonded-particle model and support for constructing other types of bonded-particle models is provided by the material modeling support package (Potyondy, 2025).

SNBV-Modeling Support Update Revisions

The first column of this table lists the snbvPkg revision number; the second column lists the PFC release against which the snbvPkg has been tested; and the third column describes the snbvPkg revision. Note that each revision of the snbvPkg is expected to operate with a PFC release that is current or newer than that listed. Since newer revisions of the snbvPkg may use features available only in newer revisions of PFC, they may not be compatible with older revisions of PFC.
