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

RecurDyn is an interdisciplinary computer-aided engineering software package whose primary function is the simulation of Multi-Body Dynamics. It simulates both rigid and flexible body dynamics by combining traditional rigid multibody dynamics with cutting-edge finite element technology for modeling flexible bodies, known as Multi Flexible Body Dynamics. RecurDyn is designed to analyze the dynamic behavior of mechanical systems in motion, including systems with joints, constraints, contact, flexible components, forces, and complex interactions between parts. Its solver technology handles the differential algebraic equations that describe multibody systems, combining equations of motion with algebraic equations for joint constraints. It provides a robust MBD-specialized modeling environment, fast solvers, extensive post-processing, animation, plotting, and tools for evaluating the motion, loads, stresses, deformation, and performance of mechanical assemblies.
