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

XPS, or eXtended Particle Simulations, is a state-of-the-art Discrete Element Method simulation software developed by RCPE and distributed globally by InSilicoTrials for high-fidelity particle-based process simulation. Designed specifically for pharmaceutical applications, XPS accurately predicts powder and granular behavior, helping teams better understand, predict, and control pharmaceutical unit operations. It relies on advanced contact models to describe the flow behavior of granular materials and uses massively parallel algorithms optimized for modern GPUs to accelerate simulations, including simulations with up to 100 million particles. XPS helps pharmaceutical engineers assess process configurations in unprecedented detail, explore decision space virtually, reduce costly and time-consuming physical experiments, and support data-driven process development.
