We conducted data-constrained magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations for solar active region (AR) NOAA AR 11429, which produced two X-class flares within a span of 63 minutes. The simulations were performed using the zero- β MHD approximation, with the initial condition derived from the nonlinear for...
