About
PFC, or Particle Flow Code, is a general-purpose distinct-element modeling framework available as two- and three-dimensional programs, PFC2D and PFC3D. It is designed to simulate synthetic granular and solid materials as assemblies of variably sized rigid particles, including disks, spheres, rigidly connected clumps, and convex polygons or polyhedra. It provides an efficient and flexible way to model the motion, interaction, breakage, flow, deformation, and failure of particle systems across geomechanics, mining, civil engineering, materials processing, and industrial design. PFC is especially useful for problems where the behavior of a material emerges from particle-level contacts, bonding, friction, rearrangement, fracture, or flow rather than from a continuous mesh. Users can represent bonded materials such as rock, concrete, or cemented soil, as well as loose granular materials such as sand, gravel, ballast, ore, powders, and grains.

About
Web3D is a collection of technologies and standards used to create, display, and interact with three-dimensional graphics directly within web browsers. It enables developers to build interactive 3D environments, visualizations, animations, and simulations without requiring users to install dedicated desktop applications. Web3D technologies include WebGL, WebGPU, WebXR, X3D, and browser-based 3D rendering frameworks. These technologies support real-time rendering, lighting, textures, animation, and user interaction with three-dimensional objects. Web3D is used in applications such as virtual product demonstrations, architectural visualization, online gaming, education, engineering, and immersive digital experiences. Its integration with standard web technologies allows 3D content to be delivered across compatible desktop, mobile, and extended reality devices.
