FLAC vr. Plaxis
FLAC vr. Plaxis
(OP)
1. Can anybody show me some advantage/disadvantage of using Flac software in deformation analysis of reinforced soils?
2. Maybe some experience or practical point of view?
3. Currently Im using Plaxis and Im not sure with my outputs so I try to find a new codes.
4. Tell me something about overall practice in Flac!!!!

RE: FLAC vr. Plaxis
The biggest disadvantage of FLAC is the tediousness of it. With FLAC, you must generate your grid mesh first. You must plan on the size, shape, and mesh density of your grid before you even begin to shape it into the geometry and model you are analysing. It is a pain to alter the grid after starting to create the model geometry, oftentimes it becomes an iterative process, and sometimes you must start over from scratch.
With Plaxis, you create the model geometry with the simple CAD-type tool, and generate the grid mesh at the click of a button. There's just no comparison in the ease of it.
I'm sure Plaxis is a competent code, there is even an available Lagrangian analysis that narrows the gap between it and FLAC. I think the only way to be truly confident in your code/model is to compare with real experimental data.
