PFC

Particle Flow Code — discrete-element modeling of granular and fractured media.

Used to study micro-mechanics, fragmentation, and flow where continuum assumptions break down — common in rockburst and drawbell studies.

Our PFC course covers calibration, bond models, and validation against continuum checks.

Covered in our training

Bonded and unbonded particle assemblies
Calibration against lab and field data
Coupling concepts with continuum models
Custom contact models via FISH/Python
