Software Distribution
Unsupported executable versions of the programs FRANC2D, CASCA, OSM, FRANC3D/Classic, and BES are distributed freely. Copyright and ownership of the programs remain with the Authors. Users can freely download the programs from this site (www.cfg.cornell.edu). However, neither the Authors, nor the Cornell Fracture Group, nor Cornell University, nor the Sponsors are obliged to provide support or maintenance. Users are obliged to acknowledge the program(s) in all papers or reports where applicable. See full Policy Statement.
FRANC2D
FRANC2D models can be created with CASCA, which is a simple pre-processor; we provide the MSWindows version of it. There are some translators available below; the ABAQUS Matlab translator is the most complete and updated. The source code to convert ANSYS, NASTRAN and other FE file formats is old and will likely need to be revised before use.
FRANC3D / Classic
FRANC3D/Classic comes bundled with OSM and BES. OSM is a simple pre-processor. BES is a boundary element program that consists of 4 executable files. The MSWindows version only works with Cygwin-X. You need to start the Cygwin Xserver and run FRANC3D and OSM from a Cygwin-Xterm window. To get the BES executables to run automatically from FRANC3D, the PATH environment should include the folder that contains the BES executable files. The Linux version of FRANC3D and OSM software is restricted to 32bit (the code will not compile on 64bit PCs). In addition, it seems to hang when running in a virtual Ubuntu Linux 12.04 32bit PC. This software has not been modified since 2007, and no further development or bug fixes will be done. It is provided as is and without any further support. An all new version of FRANC3D is available from Fracture Analysis Consultants, Inc.
Note that the FRANC3D & OSM documentation is for Version 2.6, while the software is at Version 3.2, so there might be some differences. We do not intend to update the documentation.
