In Irazu version 6.1, a new elastic FEM material model has been added to grant the ability to explicitly define unfracturable domains within an FDEM model. Ultimately, this leads to significantly reduced simulation run times without compromising the accuracy of the result. In addition, we would like to provide a sneak peek of new elasto-plastic … Read more
We recently hosted a webinar to provide an overview of the latest features of Irazu version 6.1 in action. We also demonstrated two practical applications of Irazu, including a slope stability problem using the new time-varying, user-imported water table profiles, as well as a tunnel excavation model with mixed FEM and FDEM material models. For … Read more
