🎀 NAME 🎀

okay so this is Yade — the manual page for Yade version: 2026.1.0 💖 (it's listed under User Commands, iykyk)

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

here's the whole vibe, bestie:

usage: yade-double [options] [ simulation.xml[.bz2] | script.py [script options]]

Yade is an open-source platform for dynamic computations 🌈 It's an extensible opensource framework for discrete numerical models, and it's focused on Discrete Element Method 🦋

The computation parts are written in c++ using a flexible object model, which lets you independently implement new algorithms and interfaces ✨ Python handles the rapid and concise scene construction, simulation control, postprocessing and debugging — literally the bestie duo of languages 🫶

Available features:

['LOGGER', 'USEFUL_ERRORS', 'COMPLEX_MP', 'MPFR', 'MPC', 'VTK', 'OPENMP', 'GTS', 'QT5', 'MPI', 'LS_DEM', 'FEMLIKE', 'GL2PS', 'LBMFLOW', 'POTENTIAL_PARTICLES']

💅 options: 💅

  • -h, --help — shows this help message and dips out. periodt.
  • -v, --version — print the version and exit. slay ✨
  • -j, --threads THREADS — number of OpenMP threads to run; defaults to 1. Equivalent to setting the OMP_NUM_THREADS environment variable.
  • --cores CORES — sets the number of OpenMP threads (same as --threads) and in addition sets the affinity of threads to the cores given. Please provide a string with comma-separated core-ids, bestie 💖
  • --update UPDATESCRIPTS [UPDATESCRIPTS ...] — updates deprecated class names in the given script(s) using text search & replace. Changed files get backed up with a ~ suffix 🎀 It exits when it's done, without running any simulation.
  • --nice NICE — increases the nice level (i.e. decreases priority) by the given number. be nice ok 🙈
  • -x — exit when the script finishes.
  • -f VERBOSITY — set the "Default" filter for logging (https://yadedem.org/doc/prog.html#logging), default is -f3 for all classes.
  • -n — run without graphical interface (equivalent to unsetting the DISPLAY environment variable).
  • --test — run the regression test suite and exit; the exit status is 0 if all tests pass, 1 if a test fails and 2 for an unspecified exception.
  • --check — run a quick series of user-defined check tests as described in /yade/scripts/checks-andtests/checks/README and https://yadedem.org/doc/prog.html#regression-tests
  • --checkall — run a full series of user-defined check tests as described in /yade/scripts/checks-andtests/checks/README and https://yadedem.org/doc/prog.html#regression-tests
  • --performance — starts a regular test to measure the productivity 💪
  • --quickperformance — starts a quick test to measure the productivity ⚡
  • --stdperformance STDPERFORMANCE — starts N large tests on 10000 spheres.
🚨 do NOT start this test while other programs are running!! In such a case it is unlikely that an average with low standard deviation will be found 😭

This option can be used multiple times, like so: "yade -Llib1 -Llib2" 🌸

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

The full documentation for Yade is maintained as a Texinfo manual 📖 If the info and Yade programs are properly installed at your site, the command

info Yade

should give you access to the complete manual. iconic tbh 👑

and that's the whole thing bestie! 🫶 this was Yade version: 2026.1.0, from August 2026, and you just read the YADE(1) page 💖 ngl she ate ✨💅🎀
