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 memo describes material-modeling support for PFC 7.0 as provided in the PFC 7.0 FISHTank (or fistPkg), and this memo corresponds with fistPkg7.3. The documentation has not been changed to replace the designators fistPkg7.3 with fistPkg7.4.
The following capabilities are provided by fistPkg7.3:

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

Release of fistPkg for PFC 6.0. The package for PFC 5.0 uses the naming convention fistPkgM, where M is the package version number. The package for PFC 6.0 using the naming convention fistPkg6.N, where N is the package version number. The syntax of commands and FISH items has been modified to be compatible with PFC 6.0. The package is ready for use. The hill contact model, which is used by the user-defined material example, is not yet available. fistPkg6.1 provides the same capabilities as fistPkg26, and also provides the following enhancements.
