BALL & TRUBAL (1979–1980) distinct element method (FORTRAN
code), originally written by P.Cundall and currently maintained by
Colin Thornton.
dp3D (discrete powder 3D), DEM code oriented
toward material science engineering applications (powder
compaction, powder sintering, fracture of brittle materials...).
Emphasis is put on the physics of the contact laws. dp3D is written
in fortran 90 and heavily parallelised with OpenMP.
ESyS-Particle ESyS-Particle is a high-performance
computing implementation of the Discrete Element Method released
under the Open Software License v3.0. To date, development focus is
on geoscientific applications including granular flow, rock
breakage and earthquake nucleation. ESyS-Particle includes a Python
scripting interface providing flexibility for simulation setup and
real-time data analysis. The DEM computing
