1. Create a cube.
On the command bar, select the module for constructing volume geometry (Mode - Geometry, Entity - Volume, Action - Create).

From the list of geometric primitives, select Brick.
Set the following parameters:
X (width): 1.
Click Apply.
1. Create a square mesh for the model.
On the command bar, select the volume mesh module (Mode — Mesh, Entity – Volume, Action – Intervals).

From the drop-down list, select Approximate Size.
Indicate the degree of mesh refinement:
Select Volumes: 1;
Approximate Size: 1.
Click Apply Size.
Click Mesh.
1. Set the material.
In the command bar, select the module for specifying material properties (Mode — Material, Entity — Materials Management).

Specify the material name "ALLE". Drag Isotropic Material from the left column to the Material Properties column.
Set the following parameters:
Young's modulus: 2e+07;
Poisson ratio: 0.25.
In the window on the left, go to the Plasticity section and drag Hoek-Brown Criterion to the Material Properties column.
Set the following parameters:
Intact Unixial Compressive Strength: 3e+05;
Geological Strength Index: 50;
Intact Rock Constant: 15;
Distubance Factor: 1.

Click Apply.
Close the Material management window.
2. Create a block.
On the command bar, select the block management module (Mode — Blocks, Entity – Block, Action – Add).

Set the following parameters:
Block Name: TEMPLATE;
Entity List : Volume;
Entity ID(s): 1 (or with the all command).
Click Apply.
3. Set the block parameters.
On the command bar, select the block management module (Mode - Blocks, Entity - Block, Action - Block properties/parameters).

Set the following parameters:
Block ID(s): 1;
Category: Solid;
Material: ALLE;
Coordinate System: Global Cartesian;
Order: 1.
Click Apply.
1. Create a movement restriction.
On the command panel, select the boundary conditions module (Mode - Boundary Conditions, Entity — Displacement, Action — Create).

Set the following parameters:
Entity List: Surface;
Entity ID(s): 4;
Degrees of Freedom: X.
Click Apply.
2. Create a second movement constraint.
Set the following parameters:
Entity List: Surface;
Entity ID(s): 3;
Degrees of Freedom: Y.
Click Apply.
3. Create the final movement constraint.
Set the following parameters:
Entity List: Surface;
Entity ID(s): 2;
Degrees of Freedom: Z.
Click Apply.
4. Create a move.
Set the following parameters:
Entity List: Surface;
Entity ID(s): 6;
Degrees of Freedom: X;
X: 0.03.
Click Apply.
5. Create a second move.
Set the following parameters:
Entity List: Surface;
Entity ID(s): 5;
Degrees of Freedom: Y;
Y: 0.02.
Click Apply.
6. Create the last move.
Set the following parameters:
Entity List: Surface;
Entity ID(s): 1;
Degrees of Freedom: Z;
Z: -0.05.
Click Apply.
1. Specify the type of problem you want to solve.
On the command bar, select the calculation settings module (Mode - Calculation Settings, Calculation Settings - Static, Static - General).

Select:
Dimension: 3D;
Model: Elasticity;
Model: Plasticity;
Set Nonlinear Solver Options;
Min Load Substeps: 20;
Max Load Substeps: 20;
Max Iterations: 20;
Tolerance: 1e-5;
Target Iterations: 5.
Click Apply.
Click Start Calculation.
2. In a pop-up window select a folder to save the result and enter the file name.
3. If the calculation is finished successfully, you will see a message in the Console: “Calculation finished successfully at "date time".
1. Open the file with the results.
You can do this in one of the three ways:
Click Ctrl+E.
Select Calculation Open Results in the Main Menu. Click Open Results.
Select - Results on Command Panel (Mode - Results). Click Open last result.

The FidesysViewer window will appear in which you can view with the calculation results.
2. Select the point where you want to check the voltage.
Select a point on the model using the Select points button
and apply the filter Build selection depending on time.

In the Properties window, from the Row Parameters list, select three main stresses. As a result, a graph will be displayed on the right side of the screen dependence of stress intensity on time:

Geometry creating, meshing, setting boundary conditions and materials can be performed using the console interface. Below is a link to the program code that allows you to perform the steps described above manual, you only need to specify the full path and name.
