ESyS-Particle(1)

✨ NAME ✨

ESyS-Particle — HPC Discrete Element Modelling Software. that's the whole vibe, bestie 🫶

it lives in section 1 of the General Commands Manual, iykyk.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

mpirun -np 3 esysparticle script.py

okay so listen: that -np parameter? it should correspond to the number of threads. that's it, that's the rule 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so ESyS-Particle is Open Source software for particle-based numerical modelling and it's genuinely iconic.

the software implements the Discrete Element Method (DEM), which is a widely used technique for modelling processes involving large deformations, granular flow and/or fragmentation. no cap, it eats.

ESyS-Particle is designed for execution on parallel supercomputers, clusters or multi-core PCs running a Linux-based operating system. main character energy fr fr.

the C++ simulation engine implements spatial domain decomposition via the Message Passing Interface (MPI). then a Python wrapper API provides flexibility in:

• the design of numerical models
• specification of modelling parameters and contact logic
• analysis of simulation data

so you get the raw power of C++ and MPI and the cute friendly Python glow-up. obsessed 💖

and the receipts? ESyS-Particle has been used to simulate earthquake nucleation, comminution in shear cells, silo flow, rock fragmentation, and fault gouge evolution, to name but a few applications. like. that's a lot of slay for one piece of software 😭
