Itasca Consulting Group (Itasca) has announced the release of FLAC3D v9, an advanced continuum modelling tool for solving the most challenging geotechnical problems in mining, civil, and energy engineering.

FLAC3D v9 is built upon a common framework to be leveraged by all future Itasca software products. Upcoming releases of 3DEC, FLAC2D, and PFC will all integrate into FLAC3D. In doing so, Itasca streamlines the work to model complex engineering models, reducing overhead and simplifying project management. The outcome is a powerful modelling suite that can simplify work across a wide range of engineering simulation. Now available for Windows and Linux.
