SudoDEM = sudo + DEM: a powerful ‘pseudo’ DEM simulator

Basic Features

Forked off YADE in 2014 with basic features:

  • C++ and Python (2.7)
  • OpenMP acceleration
  • Linux platform

More

You may concern:

  • Learning curve — easy to get started
  • Documents — YADE community and our quick guide
  • Both 2D & 3D — Sure
  • Non-spherical particles — the focus of SudoDEM
  • Shape customization — the general interface of contact detection algorithms
  • Efficiency — :)

Others

  • The Hertz-Mindlin Model: for super-ellipsoids only
  • The Rolling Resistance Model: for both spheres and non-spheres
  • Flexible Membrane: constructed by using the finite element (FE)
  • Easy Compilation and Installation: less dependencies, which help to compile and install SudoDEM on a PC or server without the root permission.
  • Damping: local and viscous damping

On the list:

  • MPI & GPU acceleration (on-going)
  • Upgrading to Python 3
  • Escaping from Boost
