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.
Python scripting is built into current versions of FLAC3D, 3DEC, and PFC. This video introduces users of Itasca software to Python by reviewing key concepts and demonstrations. The material is intended for those who have never used, or are seeking a review of, Python.
This video is part 3 of 3 of An Introduction to Python and discusses Modules and Packages, with a focus on NumPy and Matplotlib for n-dimensional arrays (linear algebra and matrices) and displaying data as figures and graphs, respectively.
