- Kratos Multiphysics is developed by CIMNE (International Center for Numerical Methods in Engineering) in Barcelona and covers all kinds of numerical simulations, including DEM/PEM and DEM/PEFM-FEM coupling.
- YadeDEM is a DEM package that is specifically designed for geomechanics.
- Woo is a fork of YadeDEM with a strong focus on parallel computing and portability.
- LAMMPS is a general purpose DEM/PEM.
- LIGGGHTS is a general purpose DEM software that includes heat transfer simulations and is based on LAMMPS.
- ESyS Particle is developed at the University of Queensland, Australia, with a focus on geoscientic/geotechnical applications.
- GranOO is a general purpose DEM.
- MercuryDPM is a general purpose Discrete Particle Method (DPM) software.
I’m wondering if certain DEM applications will be integrated in openFOAM in future versions. A small subset of particle methods as well as computational structure mechanics is implemented already.
There are some with openFOAM coupling:
