Abstract:

Given that FLAC3D (a geotechnical calculation software) is difficult to use for building large, complex, and three-dimensional mining models, the current study proposes a fast and a convenient modeling technique that combines the unique advantages of FLAC3D in numerical calculation and those of SURPAC (a mine design software) in three-dimensional modeling, and the interface program was compiled. First, the relationship between the FLAC3D and the SURPAC unit data was examined, and the transformation technique between the data was given. Then, the interface program that transforms the mine design model to calculate the model was compiled using FORTRAN, and the specific steps of the program implementation were described using a large iron and copper mine modeling example. The results show that the proposed transformation technique and its corresponding interface program transformed the SURPAC model into the FLAC3D model, which expedited FLAC3D modeling, verified the validity and feasibility of the transformation technique, and expanded the application spaces of FLAC3D and SURPAC.
