Sample from Undisturbed Rock under Triaxial Loading Conditions

Geometry Creation

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:

Click Apply.

Meshing

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:

Click Apply Size.

Click Mesh.

Setting the material and properties of blocks

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:

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:

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:

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:

Click Apply.

Setting boundary conditions

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:

Click Apply.

2. Create a second movement constraint.

Set the following parameters:

Click Apply.

3. Create the final movement constraint.

Set the following parameters:

Click Apply.

4. Create a move.

Set the following parameters:

Click Apply.

5. Create a second move.

Set the following parameters:

Click Apply.

6. Create the last move.

Set the following parameters:

Click Apply.

Starting calculation

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:

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".

Results analysis

1. Open the file with the results.

You can do this in one of the three ways:

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:

Using Console Interface

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.
