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
iGRAF is an integrated powder and multiphase flow simulation tool that seamlessly merges the domains of powder and fluid simulation. It is designed as a one-stop solution for replicating a wide variety of powder behaviors and redefining standards in simulation technology. iGRAF’s integrated DEM-CFD solver enables accurate and efficient analysis of single-phase and multiphase flow, helping users understand particle-fluid interactions in one platform. Its dynamic geometry control supports translations, rotations, vibrations, and user-defined motion, allowing teams to precisely capture the dynamics of complex systems. It includes validated liquid bridging models and van der Waals forces to analyze the influence of moisture and adhesion on particle behavior, with its liquid bridge force model extensively validated up to 15% moisture content. iGRAF also combines the Signed Distance Function and Immersed Boundary Method to recognize arbitrary solid geometries.
