Modeling Large Deformation with MPoint
Join the webinar to learn about MPoint, ITASCA’s new Material Point Method software for modeling extreme deformation.
Wednesday, October 7, 2026, 7:00 – 8:00 PM CDT

Webinar Overview
Join ITASCA Software experts for an introduction to MPoint2D and MPoint3D, the industry’s first commercial Material Point Method software solution developed specifically for geotechnical engineering. See how MPoint allows continuous simulation of extreme deformation processes, including landslides, tailings dam or earth dam failures, liquefaction, and material flow that can challenge conventional numerical approaches.
You’ll learn:
- The fundamentals of Material Point Method technology and how it handles large deformation without mesh distortion.
- An overview of pore pressure generation, wall coupling, Rayleigh damping, Python support, and more.
- How MPoint can be coupled with FLAC2D and FLAC3D for a hybrid modeling technique that combines traditional zones and material points.
- Example applications of slope failure and runout analysis.
