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.

About

Particleworks is particle-based CAE and CFD software for simulating liquid and multiphase flows using the Moving Particle Simulation method. Its mesh-less solver and intuitive interface make the simulation process simple and fast, even for complex geometries with moving parts such as transmissions, electric motors, internal combustion engines, and other industrial systems. Unlike conventional mesh-based CFD, Particleworks discretizes the fluid domain automatically with particles, eliminating complex mesh generation and making it easier to analyze free-surface flow, splashing, sloshing, spraying, mixing, lubrication, cooling, oil behavior, water interaction, and highly viscous fluids. It provides one-stop GUI operation from pre-processing through post-processing, helping engineers set up models, run simulations, visualize results, and evaluate performance in a streamlined workflow.
