Modeling Large Deformation with MPoint: Material Point Method Tutorial

Join ITASCA Software experts for an introduction to MPoint2D and MPoint3D, the industry’s first commercial Material Point Method software solution developed specifically for geotechnical engineering. See how MPoint allows continuous simulation of extreme deformation processes, including landslides, tailings dam or earth dam failures, liquefaction, and material flow that can challenge conventional numerical approaches. You’ll learn: · The fundamentals of Material Point Method technology and how it handles large deformation without mesh distortion. · An overview of pore pressure generation, wall coupling, Rayleigh damping, Python support, and more. · How MPoint can be coupled with FLAC2D and FLAC3D for a hybrid modeling technique that combines traditional zones and material points. · Example applications of slope failure and runout analysis. ******* Key Topics Covered: · Introduction to MPoint and MPM · Background grids, material discretization, and mapping · FLAC and MPoint coupling strategies · Practical case studies: slope failures, tailing dams, and dynamic earthquakes · Numerical considerations: quasi-static vs. dynamic modes, resolution, and material point splitting · Current capabilities and future development plans ******* Visit the ITASCA Software website to explore technical specifications for MPoint2D and MPoint3D. Find product documentation, licensing details, and trial downloads. Equip your engineering team with advanced material point software for severe geotechnical deformation analysis.
