Summary
Itasca hosted the first-ever FLAC/DEM Conference from August 25-27, 2008 in Minneapolis. The conference featured topics and discussions covering the spectrum of Itasca software: FLAC, FLAC3D, UDEC, 3DEC, PFC2D, and PFC3D. Where past Itasca-sponsored conferences limited their scope to a single 2D/3D code pair, this conference, in considering all the codes, offered a complete look at the state of numerical modeling with Itasca software.

Pre-symposium Short Courses
On August 24, 2008, prior to the Symposium, three one-day short courses were offered for FLAC/FLAC3D, UDEC/3DEC and PFC2D/PFC3D. These courses addressed common modeling questions raised by code users, and included modeling tips and recommendations. In addition, new features and developments in the codes were demonstrated.
Powerpoint presentations used for these courses will soon be available on this page.
