"FLAC2D and FLAC3D have proven to be essential tools in the fields of geomechanics and geotechnical engineering. These two codes represent an absolute benchmark for performing slope stability analyses and for solving soil-structure interaction problems with particular reference to bridges and viaducts."
Walter Salvatore, Consorzio Fabre
"[FLAC3D] excels in modeling intricate geomechanical behaviors in three dimensions, offering an invaluable tool for our team. Its user-friendly interface was easy to navigate, enabling us to swiftly model scenarios we once found challenging to conceptualize.”
Sofiane Djezzar, EERC/UND
“In addition to its technical prowess, the support provided by the creators of FLAC3D [ITASCA] deserves commendation. Their commitment to user assistance through well-documented resources, tutorial videos, and responsive support channels greatly facilitates the learning curve for newcomers, ensuring a smooth and productive experience.”
Zarina Mukhamedyarova, PhD Candidate
“The flexibility FLAC[2D] offers in simulating the geoengineered systems as realistically as possible, and the accessibility to nearly all the FLAC’s functionality through FISH has been a key point that motivated me to use FLAC in my research.”
Girish Kumar, PhD
"The GUI, FISH language, constitutive models, & formulation make FLAC my go-to analysis tool for project & research work."
Richard Armstrong, Geoanalysis Support/ CSU, Sacramento
"The recent changes and enhancements made to [ITASCA's] FLAC2D & 3D codes cover very well our increasing professional demands in advanced Civil Engineering Applications – well done."
Fulvio Besseghini, Lombardi Engineering Ltd.
“The software [is] very stable and the software manual is very well-organized and clear. [Also], the software integration between PFC3D and FLAC3D makes it easier to create coupled finite difference and discrete element models than [ever] before.”
Chong Wei, PhD
“Using Griddle, the 3D [mesh] was introduced into 3DEC models (including zones and contacts) in a relatively efficient amount of time.”
Fico Dio Agrensa, PhD Candidate
“I’ve been using [ITASCA] software, mainly FLAC2D and FLAC3D and UDEC, for the past 20+ years. It helped solved complex problems and allow me to customize the solution through coding. [ITASCA] software is my ultimate go-to for difficult geotechnical problems.”
Farzaan Abbasy, PhD
“The numerical modelling for mitigating the liquefaction risk is a challenging [task] which would be otherwise impossible without a finite difference code like FLAC3D.”
Gianluca Fasano, PhD
“FLAC2D software provides me with all the necessary elements to carry [out] successful dynamic analysis.”
Rita Abou Jaoude, PhD
“[ITASCA] software [including] FLAC3D, UDEC, and 3DEC are quite powerful and user-friendly.”
Jung Wang, PhD Candidate
“Integrating FLAC3D has unquestionably transformed our approach to geotechnical challenges. The unparalleled confidence and accuracy it provides make it an indispensable asset.”
Sofiane Djezzar, EERC/UND
“PFC is simple to use and the examples provided explain and help a lot.”
Tarek Mohamed, PhD Candidate
"The implementation of finite difference method ensures high-quality results, and the new versions of the codes have been significantly improved with a new user interface while the technical support from ITASCA is absolutely outstanding."
Walter Salvatore, Consorzio Fabre
"The precision that FLAC3D offered, especially in visualizing potential subsurface movements and stresses, empowered us to make more insightful decisions throughout the project. The end result was both safer and more efficient."
Sofiane Djezzar, EERC/UND
“I used FLAC3D for a slope stability project and I was really impressed with its simplicity and, of course, the FISH [scripting] language.”
Wenbo Zheng, PhD
“This software has proven to be an exceptional tool, offering an array of features that greatly facilitate various aspects of research work. FLAC3D's user-friendly interface, coupled with its comprehensive documentation and extensive video materials, makes it accessible and approachable for users of all skill levels.”
