A Finite-Discrete Element Method (FDEM) software recommendation

AI Thread Summary
FDEM software that accommodates poroelasticity and includes a hydraulic solver alongside a mechanics solver is sought after. The specificity of FDEM makes it challenging to find ready-made software that meets these requirements. An article was referenced that discusses particular codes related to FDEM. Mainstream commercial options like Ansys paired with RockyDEM may offer useful coupling capabilities for the desired simulations. Exploring common methods may also provide alternative solutions to the problem.

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.

Thread '1:1 versus 2:1 Mechanical Advantage debate'

The rope is tied into the person (the load of 200 pounds) and the rope goes up from the person to a fixed pulley and back down to his hands. He hauls the rope to suspend himself in the air. What is the mechanical advantage of the system? The person will indeed only have to lift half of his body weight (roughly 100 pounds) because he now lessened the load by that same amount. This APPEARS to be a 2:1 because he can hold himself with half the force, but my question is: is that mechanical...

Thread 'Newton's first law?'

Some physics textbook writer told me that Newton's first law applies only on bodies that feel no interactions at all. He said that if a body is on rest or moves in constant velocity, there is no external force acting on it. But I have heard another form of the law that says the net force acting on a body must be zero. This means there is interactions involved after all. So which one is correct?

Thread 'Beam on an inclined plane'

Hello! I have a question regarding a beam on an inclined plane. I was considering a beam resting on two supports attached to an inclined plane. I was almost sure that the lower support must be more loaded. My imagination about this problem is shown in the picture below. Here is how I wrote the condition of equilibrium forces: $$ \begin{cases} F_{g\parallel}=F_{t1}+F_{t2}, \\ F_{g\perp}=F_{r1}+F_{r2} \end{cases}. $$ On the other hand...
