Open source FEM-DEM coupling
Open source codes for coupling of Finite Element Method and Discrete Element Method using YADE, and OOFEM softwares.
Compatibility
Compilation and examples were tested on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS system. Postprocessing was done using Paraview 5.0.1.
On Ubuntu 18.04, there were some compilation issues and postprocessing issues. Currently I am out of time to fix it..
Installation
There is downloadAndInstall shell script, which downloads, compiles and installs all necessary softwares. It also modifies some part of source codes to make them all compatible.
Examples
See examples directory.
