About
GROMACS is a free and open source suite for high-performance molecular dynamics and output analysis. It is a versatile package for simulating the Newtonian equations of motion for systems with hundreds to millions of particles, with a strong focus on materials modeling, biomolecular simulation, and particle-based systems. GROMACS is primarily designed for biochemical molecules such as proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids, which involve many complicated bonded interactions, but its speed in calculating nonbonded interactions also makes it useful for non-biological systems such as polymers and other materials. It can model ensembles of particles in liquid, solid, or gaseous states and supports a wide range of molecular dynamics workflows, from basic energy minimization and equilibration to production simulations and detailed trajectory analysis.

About
PFC, or Particle Flow Code, is a general-purpose distinct-element modeling framework available as two- and three-dimensional programs, PFC2D and PFC3D. It is designed to simulate synthetic granular and solid materials as assemblies of variably sized rigid particles, including disks, spheres, rigidly connected clumps, and convex polygons or polyhedra. It provides an efficient and flexible way to model the motion, interaction, breakage, flow, deformation, and failure of particle systems across geomechanics, mining, civil engineering, materials processing, and industrial design. PFC is especially useful for problems where the behavior of a material emerges from particle-level contacts, bonding, friction, rearrangement, fracture, or flow rather than from a continuous mesh. Users can represent bonded materials such as rock, concrete, or cemented soil, as well as loose granular materials such as sand, gravel, ballast, ore, powders, and grains.
