Dear Itasca Community,
I am currently working on underground strata caving simulations using FLAC3D 9.0 and exploring the IMASS constitutive model for better representation of rock mass behavior during caving. I would appreciate any guidance on:
- Proper implementation of the IMASS model for simulating progressive caving.
- Defining input parameters and calibrating them based on field conditions.
- Best practices for numerical stability and convergence in large-scale caving models.
- Relevant documentation, tutorials, or example models to aid in learning.
Additionally, I am keen to enhance my understanding of FLAC3D 9.0 for advanced geomechanical simulations. Any recommendations for learning resources, courses, or practical tips from experienced users would be highly valuable.
Looking forward to insights from experts and fellow researchers. Thank you in advance for your support!
Best regards,
