numerical modelling. these chapters are: • overview of numerical modelling • solid mechanics • modelling criteria • material models • solution methods following this are chapters covering the five most commonly used numerical modelling programs in the south african gold and platinum mining industries. these programs are • besol/minap_97,numerical modelling in geo mechanics,most of the numerical modelling undertaken in the process of mine planning and design involves using linear elastic, static, and boundary element programs. the speed, memory efficiency and ease of use of these codes renders them well suited to quick design analysis. numerical models can represent complex geometries with a high degree of accuracy.
a model is a simplification of reality rather than an imitation of reality. it is an intellectual tool that has to be designed or chosen for a specific task1. most of the numerical modelling undertaken in the process of mine planning and design involves using linear elastic, static, and,numerical modelling of mining subsidence,this project aimed to develop a numerical model within flac to accurately measure and model subsidence. this is due to the fact that numerical models are extremely important when dealing with large complex problems. the department of mineral resources requires numerical models for subsidence to accurately assess the
