We are glad to send you our European newsletter that has been "refreshed"!
Here is a list of our recent consulting projects in Europe:
Effect of yielding supports on the behavior of deep tunnels This project is about two-dimensional numerical analysis with FLAC to verify a tunnel stability and the effect of support profiles on the tunnel behavior. View more >>
Stability during the construction of diaphragm-walls in sand-fills This project deals with the construction of the diaphragm‐walls of a cut & cover tunnel in sand‐fill View more >>
Software Updates
3DEC 7.0 is now available as a pre-release. Pre-purchase now and make important savings!
FLAC/Slope is now available for free! Download it from our website
Web licenses are available!
Web licenses are currently available for FLAC3D 7.0 and 3DEC 7.0 and will be available for PFC 7.0 upon release. Web licenses are ideal for organizations with many users at different locations and/or for cloud computing. Please contact you local agent for a quote.
