HARPACEAS FLAC и FLAC3D
Computational
• Large-strain simulation of continua, with optional interfaces that simulate distinct planes along which slip and/or separation can occur
• Explicit solution scheme, giving stable solutions to unstable physical processes
• Groundwater flow, with full coupling to mechanical calculation (including negative pore pressure, unsaturated flow, and phreatic surface calculation)
• Convenient specification of general boundary conditions
• Structural elements (including non-linear material behavior), with general coupling to the continuum
• Library of material models (e.g., elastic, Mohr-Coulomb plasticity, ubiquitous joint, double-yield, strain-softening, modified Cam-Clay, and Hoek-Brown)
• Pre-defined database of material properties; users may add and save their own material properties specifications to the database
• A range of optional modules, including: thermal and creep calculations, dynamic analysis capability, two-phase fluid flow model, and user-defined constitutive models written in C++
• Coupling to infinite elastic boundary
• Statistical distribution of any property with extensive facility for generating plots of virtually any problem variable
• Built-in language (FISH) to add user-defined features (e.g., new constitutive models, new variables or new commands)
Environment
• Full graphical interface with built-in access to command-line
• Several grid generators for common shapes
• Project-tree simplifies project tracking, management, revision, and parameterization
• Continuous update of selected plots while FLAC is executing
• Graphical output in a wide range of industry-standard formats with cut-and-paste facility
• Built-in MOVIE command and accompanying viewer utility to animate model results
• Customizable program environment that may be saved to reflect the user’s preferences
• Rapid movement from the modeling environment to the code output using a multi-pane program layout
• Built-in slope modeling module (FLAC/Slope) for rapid factor-of-safety analysis of slopes
• HTML-based Help accessed from the Help menu describes use of the user-interface; and provides access to the full FLAC Manual.
