FRANC3D development started in the late 1980's at Cornell University. The FRANC3D/Classic (boundary element based) software is still available from the Cornell Fracture Group, but it has not been updated since 2007, it is restricted to 32bit, and it requires XWindows graphics.
An all new version of FRANC3D was started in 2005 by FAC, and commercial licensed copies have been shipping since 2010. The development history is shown here:
