What is OpenFDEM#

OpenFDEM is an open-source(free) and object-oriented finite and discrete element solver for solving diverse multiscale, multiphase and multiphysics (3M) problems accurately with high performance computations. Its applications include but are not limited to mechanical, thermal and fluid dynamics. OpenFDEM also provides a wide range of flexibility in geometry, mesh and material modules. OpenFDEM is constructed by C++, and can be operated with an extensive Python C++ interface.

OpenFDEM is open-free (first stage) or open-source (second stage) under GNU license and can be used even in comercial softwares as it is before properly get the copyright from the developer.
