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

Simcenter EDEM is a high-performance Discrete Element Method tool for bulk material and particle simulation, designed to give engineers crucial insight into how granular materials interact with handling equipment across a range of operating and process conditions. It accurately simulates and analyzes the behavior of coal, ores, soils, fibers, grains, tablets, powders, rocks, crops, and other real-world materials. Users can get started quickly with extensive pre-calibrated material model libraries representing rocks, ores, soils, and powders, while validated physics models support dry, sticky, compressible, and more complex material behaviors. Simcenter EDEM can simulate complex, industry-scale particle systems involving many millions of particles with fast and scalable compute performance across CPU, GPU, and multi-GPU solvers.
