OSParticulas

A separate version of NairnMPM called OSParticulas contains research code that has not yet been released to the open source version. It is an object-oriented, C++, platform-independent code engine. It is available to members of the OSU MPM Consortium, (For details, please contact John A. Nairn : EMAIL: john.nairn@oregonstate.edu, TEL: 1-541-737-4265, FAX: 1-541-737-3385)

In OSParticulas, simulations are run, as in NairnMPM, by creating Input Files for MPM Calculations.

Some of the key features of OSParticulas code engines are listed here:

• 2D, Axisymmetric, and 3D
• Various Shape Functions
• Many Material Models
• Explicit Cracks, Fracture Mechanics, Cohesive Zones, Multi-Fractures Interactions
• Contact and Imperfect Interfaces by using Multimaterial Mode
• Models from Images and scripts
• Coupled Diffusion and Conductivity
• VTK Archiving
• Rigid Particle Features
• Custom Tasks
