Index: Examples

In addition to the standalone cases shown here, the index lists all illustrative examples that appear in support of the main body of the program documentation.

This section contains examples that detail FLAC usage and explore the program’s myriad capabilities. For specific details of the FLAC model components (e.g., zones and structural elements), see FLAC Commands, FISH, and Workspaces. Because examples are updated with each release to take advantage of the newest features available in the code, experienced FLAC users may want to review New Features in FLAC3D Version 7.0 before revisiting material here.

FLAC3D

About Verification Problems

The verification problems are tests in which the FLAC solution is compared directly to an analytical (i.e., closed-form) solution. Verification problems for the optional features – thermal analysis, creep material models and dynamic analysis – and for structural elements are found in the sections of the documentation covering those topics.
