Precis

This document is a reproduction of the section “Examples” from the FLAC3D Help. It is provided as a convenience to FLAC3D users who would prefer access to the documentation in a printable form.

With one exception, there is no significant variance between the material presented here and that which appears in the FLAC3D Help. In cases of variance, the difference is either a change made to accommodate format in going from a screen-based media to one intended for paper, or, since the Help is updated concurrent to code revisions, that the Help file content is more up-to-date than this document. In any case of variance between the two, precedence should always be given to the Help.

Regarding the aforementioned variance: in the Help, the first chapter of the “Examples” section is a second, repeated presentation of “Tutorials,” a chapter first presented in the section “FLAC3D Modeling.” The “Tutorials” material is not reproduced here; it may be found in the PDF for “FLAC3D Modeling.”

Printing Tip

This document uses a facing pages layout. Users who wish to print the document are advised that printing double-sided, if possible, will produce the best result. A double-sided copy can be bound or inserted into a ring-binder.
