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.
