When you pre-purchase FLAC3D 6.0 prior to its release, you will receive a temporary FLAC3D 5.0
license. So that you can start using the PH model right away, a plugin version (DLL) for use with
version 5.0 is available upon request.
Swell Model
The swell model is based on the Mohr-Coulomb constitutive model. The difference is that the wetting-
induced deformations are taken into account by means of coupling wetting strains with the model state

prior to wetting. The wetting-induced strains are assumed following logarithmic or linear function of
normalized compressive stress in the user-defined principal swelling direction.
Compared to the model implemented in FLAC3D 5.0, these features are all built into the
updated version. The updated model retains the capability to substitute, by means of tables,
alternative user-defined hardening/softening laws for the built-in laws. When a table is declared for a
specific model property of friction, dilation, cohesion, tensile strength, or cap-pressure, the associated
user-defined law takes precedence over the corresponding built-in law.
