Hello guys . Does anybody know how to simulate the deformation of the soil caused by fluidflow in both TOUGH and FLAC3D? Thanks

    Unfortunately, it is not as straightforward as it sounds.

    The "easiest" way that does not require access to TOUGH source code is to make FLAC3D call TOUGH at each time step and import the pressure and temperature from TOUGH into FLAC. For two-way coupling (stress-induced porosity/permeability changes), you should update TOUGH input files before calling TOUGH in FLAC3D.

      Floriane Youzan You can install toughio for FLAC3D's Python using the command:

      cmd /C ""C:/Program Files/Itasca/FLAC3D700/exe64/python36/Scripts/pip.exe"" install toughio --user

      Floriane Youzan Call that command in WIndows console, not in FLAC3D (just like you did with pip).

      Floriane Youzan Sorry for the delay. I wanted to fix other bugs and add other features before releasing an update. The latest update of toughio should be able to read your SAVE file now. Please update toughio.

      pip install -U toughio --user

      To update toughio in FLAC3D's Python:

      cmd /C ""C:/Program Files/Itasca/FLAC3D700/exe64/python36/Scripts/pip.exe"" install -U toughio --user

      Floriane Youzan I notice that you installed toughio for Windows' Python installation rather than FLAC3D's built-in Python. This means that you won't be able to import toughio within FLAC3D. To run a coupled TOUGH and FLAC3D simulation (without modifying TOUGH's source code), you HAVE to install toughio for FLAC3D's Python as there is no way to import the module itasca outside of FLAC3D.

      If you get an error when running the command:

      cmd /C ""C:/Program Files/Itasca/FLAC3D700/exe64/python36/Scripts/pip.exe"" install -U toughio --user

      it probably means that FLAC3D is not installed in its default location. What's the exact error returned by Windows console when you run this command?

      Floriane Youzan You have to type it in Windows console, just like you did to install toughio for Windows's Python installation, the only difference is the path to the program pip (Python's package manager).

      Keurfon Luu okay I was able to get it done. however when I tried the code in python in FLAC3D they say toughio is not specified. I don't understand

      Keurfon Luu yeah I closed FLAC and opened it back again but still they say that "DLL load failed" the specified module could not be loaded

      Floriane Youzan Okay, so the error is related to _lzma, as I thought.

      Itasca packages the module lzma in FLAC3D but forgot to include the associated DLL file.

      Download and uncompress the attached ZIP file, and put the file liblzma.dll in the following directory:

      C:\Program Files\Itasca\FLAC3D700\exe64\python36\DLLs

      Restart FLAC3D and retry.
