University FEA Coaching
Structured coaching for graduate research groups using FLAC3D, PFC, and Diana FEA.
Overview
Rock Terra Tech delivers a semester-aligned coaching program for university labs adopting 3D continuum and discrete-element workflows.
Sessions combine live model reviews, reproducibility checklists, and defence-ready documentation — so students publish with confidence and supervisors retain oversight without becoming full-time modellers.
Who this is for
Graduate students, post-docs, and faculty labs in geotechnical and rock mechanics.
Ideal for groups preparing journal submissions, grant milestones, or thesis chapters that rely on FLAC3D, PFC, or Diana FEA.
Deliverables
- Custom workshop series aligned to your syllabus
- Bi-weekly model review checkpoints with written notes
- Final thesis chapter or paper section review
- Shared QA templates for mesh, boundaries, and calibration
Engagement process
- 1 Kick-off — scope, software baseline, and data governance
- 2 Bi-weekly model review sessions with action items
- 3 Mid-program calibration checkpoint
- 4 Pre-defence mock examination and reporting pack
How we work
Remote-first with optional on-campus intensives. We work inside your NDA and can host models on agreed secure storage.
