Geomechanica will be offering a one-day course on “2D and 3D Modeling of Rock Fracturing Processes in Geomechanics” during the upcoming ARMA Symposium in New York City on Sunday June 23, 2019, instructed by Dr. Omid Mahabadi and Dr. Bryan Tatone.

This short-course will combine theoretical lectures on the fundamental principles of the finite-discrete element method (FDEM) with practical modelling sessions where participants will be guided through several simulation cases. Major topics to be covered include:

• numerical modeling of complex, non-linear, coupled rock engineering problems;
• simulation of rock fracture and fragmentation in 2D and 3D;
• fluid flow and fluid-induced rock fracturing;
• fundamental principles of the state-of-the-art Irazu FDEM software;
• and hands-on Irazu tutorials.

Registration cost is $299, reduced to only $99 for students, and it includes a free, full-featured demo version of Geomechanica’s Irazu software, and complete course materials. There are still a few spaces left so make sure to register for the course here. You can join even if you are not attending the rest of the Symposium.

We will also be exhibiting in the trade show of ARMA and look forward to meeting with you to discuss your geomechanical simulation challenges, to learn about our latest software developments and services, and to experiment with the software.
