Graduate Finite-Discrete Element Method (FDEM) software recommendation

Click For 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 'Mousetrap Car Energy efficiency'

For simple comparison, I think the same thought process can be followed as a block slides down a hill, - for block down hill, simple starting PE of mgh to final max KE 0.5mv^2 - comparing PE1 to max KE2 would result in finding the work friction did through the process. efficiency is just 100*KE2/PE1. If a mousetrap car travels along a flat surface, a starting PE of 0.5 k th^2 can be measured and maximum velocity of the car can also be measured. If energy efficiency is defined by...
