Itasca 3DEC 9.10.7
Itasca 3DEC 9.10.7 Itasca 3DEC 9 (Distinct Element Code) is a three-dimensional numerical modeling software developed by Itasca Consulting Group for advanced geotechnical analysis of discontinuous materials such as jointed rock, soil, and masonry. Released on January 23, 2024, it employs a hybrid approach combining distinct element modeling (DEM) and continuum mechanics to simulate complex behaviors, including block deformation, sliding, rotation, and fracturing. Widely used in civil engineering, mining, and energy sectors, 3DEC 9 is designed for applications like slope stability, underground excavations, tunneling, and earthquake simulations. Key Features Enhanced Performance: Up to 10x faster for steady-state models and 3x larger dynamic timesteps compared to previous versions. Multithreaded plotting is 3-5x faster. Constitutive Models: Includes 18 models, with new additions...
