    PFC (Particle Flow Code)

    PFC (Particle Flow Code)

    ITASCA Consulting

    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.

    Moonchild

    Moonchild

    Moonchild

    Moonchild is an AI-native product design workspace that turns product requirements, briefs, and rough ideas into production-ready interface screens and interactive prototypes. Instead of starting from a blank canvas, teams can paste a PRD, generate multi-screen user flows, explore several design directions, and compare the rationale behind each approach. Its chat-powered infinite canvas supports rapid iteration, visual edits, UX problem solving, and AI-assisted critique for hierarchy, accessibility, and consistency. Moonchild can use an existing design system by importing components and tokens from Figma, GitHub, or live websites, helping generated screens follow established visual rules rather than producing generic UI. Designers can refine results and export them to Figma, while product managers can visualize requirements early enough to identify gaps before development.
