DualSPHysics consists of two packages and can be downloaded from the official website (http://www.dual.sphysics.org/index.php/downloads/):
 * The DualSPHysics SPH solver and pre- and post-processing tools
 * The DualSPHysics Pre-processing Interface or DPI

Full documentation and support can be found on the projects official website: http://dual.sphysics.org/, by default pre-compiled libraries are 64 bit, however 32 bit versions can be provided by asking a developer for access (further details can be found on the main website).

DualSPHysics can be run using either Windows or Unix/Linux, pre-compiled executables are provided in the respective archives along with a full source tree (The NVIDIA CUDA (4.0 or higher) and OpenMP libraries are required for compilation of DualSPHysics). The archives also contain Doxygen documentation and a number of a test cases to get you started.

The DualSPHysics Pre-processing Interface (DPI) is a Java SWING/JOGL application that provides an interactive environment to design new simulation cases for use with DualSPHysics. It requires the Oracle Java Virtual Machine (1.6+ 32/64 bit) to be installed, or a compatible alternative. DPI relies on the Java OpenGL library which is provided for 32 and 64 bit variants of Windows and Unix/Linux in the respective archives. Using DPI is not a requirement for setting up new DualSPHysics cases, however it can make the process significantly faster and more intuitive.
