Can GiD be used to create meshes for Itasca Consulting products (FLAC3D)? If so, does anyone have experience doing so?

Sorry, we don't know the existence of any problemtype FLAC3D-GiD to use GiD as GUI for FLAC3D.

The only that I know is a simple template, made some years ago by an user, that allow export the mesh of tetrahedra of GiD in a file with FLAC3D format.
I attach a zip with this template:
FLAC3D.zip
(875 Bytes) Downloaded 558 times
to use it unzip it inside the <GiD>/templates folder and then create a mesh of tetrahedra and go to menu
Files->Export->Using template .bas (mesh only)->FLAC3D
and it will write a text file with extension .FLAC3D that, in theory, is able to be read by FLAC3D

Thanks! I will explore this option a bit and report back with findings.

Cheers!
