Commands

Wrap zone and shell-based structural elements with PFC walls. This coupling allows for balls and clumps to interact directly with zones and shell-based structural elements.

Note

• In order for PFC to cycle in a coupled fashion, FLAC3D must be in large strain mode. This is set with the model largestrain command.
• The contact, PFC and wall-zone plugins must be loaded either via the Tools ‣ Plugins menu item or with the program load module command. In order to visualize PFC model components, PFC gui plugin must also be loaded; the program load guimodule command is used in this case.
