- All of FLAC3D's structural elements are now available (beams, cables, piles, shells, geogrid, and liners)
- Built-in Voronoi generator
- Softening-Healing Mohr-Coulomb joint model for improved seismicity modeling
- Bilinear Mohr-Coulomb joint model with two different shear strength envelopes depending on a critical level of normal stress
