Introduction

This documentation wiki is for the computational mechanics software from Oregon State University in the research group of John A. Nairn. This software package focuses on material point method (MPM) calculations, but also includes basic finite element analysis (FEA) calculations. The open-source code engines engines are called NairnMPM and NairnFEA. They are object-oriented, C++, platform-independent code engines. A separate version of NairnFEA is called OSUParticulas; it contains research code that has not yet been released to the open source version. It is available to members of the OSU MPM Consortium (contact John A. Nairn for details).

The various code engines do the calculations. Visualization of results is done using either NairnFEAMPM (preferred, but Mac only) or NairnFEAMPMViz (Java program for Windows or Linux).
