NairnMPM

NairnMPM is the open-source code engine in this package for doing material point method (MPM) simulations. It is object-oriented C++ code that can run on many platforms. The main calculations are parallel code. You run calculations by creating Input Files for MPM Calculations. Once the calculations are done, you have a variety of options for visualizing and analyzing the output.

NairnMPM does 2D, axisymmetric, and 3D simulations with a wide range of material types. Some of its features are (click each link for details):

• Support latest MPM methods such as GIMP and CPDI
• Many material models including elastic, plastic, isotropic, anisotropic, viscoelastic, small strain, and large strain.
• Plasticity materials can use a variety of hardening laws.
• Simulations can include explicit cracks, do fracture mechanics calculations, and model crack propagation.
• Crack can include tractions laws to model cohesive zones, including dynamic cohesive zones in the wake of crack propagation.
• Cracks can model imperfect interfaces.
• Advanced multimaterial mode MPM with latest contact methods can options to model imperfect interfaces.
• Models from Images
• Coupled Diffusion and Conductivity
• VTK Archiving
• Rigid Particle Features
• Custom Tasks
