Coupling of FLAC3D v9 and PFC v7

Dear ITASCA-Team,
is coupling between FLAC3D v9 and PFC v7 still possible and are the examples from the documentation still applicable?

Dear Mussie,

unfortunately coupling in FLAC3D V9.0 is currently not available (for models exceeding the particle count of the PFC demo), as it is exclusively compatible with PFC V9.0, for which we currently do not offer licenses. We kindly recommend using FLAC3D / PFC V7.0 for coupled simulations.

Best wishes,
Nils

Thank you very much Nils for the quick response!

May I ask if coupling is available for V5.0 or not? if yes, can I load FLAC into PFC or does it need to be the other way around?

Dear aghanem, from what I know this should work with V7 onwards and not below (so V5.0 should not work). In case you use V7 - I think you can go both ways. Using the PFC plugin in FLAC or using the FLAC plugin within PFC. I hope this is of help - if you dont have Version 7 or higher you can maybe counsel ITASCA on possibilities for you to get access. Have a great day
