Description

LIGGGHTS is an open-source simulation software that employs the Discrete Element Method to model materials composed of particles, particularly emphasizing simulations related to industrial granules and heat transfer. The name LIGGGHTS reflects its foundation on LAMMPS, improved specifically to enhance simulations of general granular materials and their thermal dynamics, thereby broadening the reach of DEM into practical industrial scenarios. This tool is adept at simulating a variety of systems in which the behavior of materials arises from the dynamics, collisions, friction, cohesion, thermal exchange, and interactions among individual particles. It proves beneficial for studying an array of applications, including powders, grains, bulk solids, particulate flows, packed beds, conveyor systems, mixing operations, hopper discharges, and material handling, particularly in contexts where the behaviors at the particle level are significant. Currently, LIGGGHTS is embraced by numerous research institutions and commercial enterprises across the globe, valued for its open-source nature and the adaptability it offers in the simulation of particulate materials. Moreover, its versatility makes it an essential tool in advancing research and development in various fields related to granular systems.

Description

RecurDyn is a versatile engineering software that specializes in simulating Multi-Body Dynamics across various disciplines. By integrating traditional rigid multibody dynamics with advanced finite element methods, it effectively models both rigid and flexible bodies, a process termed Multi Flexible Body Dynamics. This software is adept at analyzing the dynamic performance of mechanical systems that involve motion, incorporating elements such as joints, constraints, contact points, flexible components, and complex interactions among parts. Its sophisticated solver technology adeptly tackles the differential algebraic equations that govern multibody systems, merging motion equations with algebraic expressions for joint constraints. Furthermore, RecurDyn offers a comprehensive modeling environment tailored for MBD, featuring rapid solvers, extensive post-processing capabilities, animation tools, and graphing functions to assess the motion, loads, stresses, deformation, and overall efficiency of mechanical assemblies. Additionally, the software's user-friendly interface allows engineers to visualize and optimize their designs effectively.
