LIGGGHTS-PUBLIC is an open-source Discrete Element Method particle simulation software package. It is used to model granular materials, powders, bulk solids, and industrial particle-flow systems. The project originated from the LIGGGHTS ecosystem and has been used in combination with CFDEM coupling workflows for particle-fluid simulations. It helps users study mechanical contact, particle motion, collision behavior, packing, flow, and equipment-scale granular processes. The software is especially relevant for engineering applications where macroscopic behavior emerges from many particle-level interactions. Its main value is providing a DEM simulation engine for researchers and engineers who need detailed particle-scale modeling in open-source workflows.
