Description
PFC, which stands for Particle Flow Code, is a versatile distinct-element modeling tool offered in both two-dimensional and three-dimensional versions, known as PFC2D and PFC3D. This framework is engineered to replicate synthetic granular and solid materials by treating them as assemblies composed of rigid particles of varying sizes, which can include shapes like disks, spheres, and various forms of polyhedra. Its design affords an effective and adaptable approach to simulating the dynamics, interactions, fragmentation, flow, deformation, and failure of particle systems in fields such as geomechanics, mining, civil engineering, materials processing, and industrial design. Notably, PFC excels in scenarios where material behavior is dictated by interactions at the particle level, such as contact mechanics, bonding, friction, rearrangement, fracture, and flow, rather than relying on a continuous material mesh. Users have the capability to model bonded materials, including types like rock, concrete, or cemented soil, as well as unbound granular substances such as sand, gravel, ballast, ore, powders, and small grains. This broad applicability makes PFC an invaluable resource for researchers and engineers working with complex material behaviors.
Description
RSTAB is a powerful software that allows structural engineers to meet the requirements of modern civil engineering. It provides a 3D beam, frame or truss calculation.
Use the RSTAB software to design beam, frame or truss constructions made of steel, concrete, wood, aluminum or other materials.
RSTAB allows you to quickly and easily define a structure model, then calculate internal forces, deformations and support reactions. You can use the design add-ons to take into account material- and standard specific requirements.
