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.

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 'Average velocity as a weighted mean'

Hello everyone, Consider the problem in which a car is told to travel at 30 km/h for L kilometers and then at 60 km/h for another L kilometers. Next, you are asked to determine the average speed. My question is: although we know that the average speed in this case is the harmonic mean of the two speeds, is it also possible to state that the average speed over this 2L-kilometer stretch can be obtained as a weighted average of the two speeds? Best regards, DaTario
