Finite-Discrete Element Method (FDEM) software recommendation

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the search for Finite-Discrete Element Method (FDEM) software capable of simulating poroelasticity with a hydraulic solver in addition to a mechanics solver. Users recommend exploring specific codes mentioned in a referenced article and suggest the coupling of Ansys with RockyDEM as a viable solution. Ansys also offers CFD-DEM and FEA-DEM coupling capabilities that may meet the user's requirements.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Finite-Discrete Element Method (FDEM)
  • Familiarity with poroelasticity concepts
  • Knowledge of hydraulic solvers
  • Experience with Ansys and RockyDEM software
NEXT STEPS
  • Research specific FDEM software implementations for poroelasticity
  • Explore the coupling capabilities of Ansys and RockyDEM
  • Learn about CFD-DEM and FEA-DEM methodologies in Ansys
  • Review the article on FDEM software codes from Hindawi
USEFUL FOR

Researchers, engineers, and software developers involved in geomechanics, civil engineering, or any field requiring advanced simulations of poroelastic materials using FDEM techniques.

Hello, I am looking for FDEM software that can do poroelasticity and has a hydraulic solver besides a mechanics solver.

Paging @FEAnalyst :smile:
Thank you for notifying me :-)

@miraboreasu Can you say what exactly you want to simulate ? FDEM is relatively new and quite specific so it may not be easy to find its ready-made software implementations (especially with those additional requirements). This article mentions some particular codes: https://www.hindawi.com/journals/sv/2021/6622926/
But maybe your problem can be solved also with other, more common methods.

When it comes to mainstream commercial software, perhaps coupling of e.g. Ansys and RockyDEM could help you. Ansys itself also provides some CFD-DEM and FEA-DEM coupling capabilities.
