NAME

       ESyS-Particle - HPC Discrete Element Modelling Software.

SYNOPSIS

       mpirun -np 3 esysparticle script.py
       Parameter -np should correspond to the number of threads.

DESCRIPTION

       ESyS-Particle   ESyS-Particle   is  Open  Source  software  for  particle-based  numerical
       modelling. The software implements the  Discrete  Element  Method  (DEM),  a  widely  used
       technique  for  modelling  processes  involving  large  deformations, granular flow and/or
       fragmentation.  ESyS-Particle  is  designed  for  execution  on  parallel  supercomputers,
       clusters  or  multi-core  PCs  running  a Linux-based operating system. The C++ simulation
       engine implements spatial domain decomposition via the Message Passing Interface (MPI).  A
       Python  wrapper  API provides flexibility in the design of numerical models, specification
       of modelling parameters and contact logic, and analysis of simulation data.  ESyS-Particle
       has  been  used  to simulate earthquake nucleation, comminution in shear cells, silo flow,
       rock fragmentation, and fault gouge evolution, to name but a few applications.
