Implicit RKPM simulation of a borehole breakout using a gradient-enhanced micropolar damage–plasticity constitutive model.
EdelweissMeshfree provides at an easy-to-understand yet efficient implementation of meshfree numerical methods for solving partial differential equations. The current release includes implementations of the Material Point Method (MPM) and the Reproducing Kernel Particle Method (RKPM).
Key features are:
- Python for non performance-critical routines
- Cython for performance-critical routines
- Parallelization
- Modular system, which is easy to extend
- Output to Paraview, Ensight, CSV, matplotlib
- Interfaces to powerful direct and iterative linear solvers
- Integration of the Marmot library, providing cells, material points, particles and constitutive model formulations
Note: The current public version of EdelweissMeshfree depends on the infrastructure of Marmot cells, material points, and particles; these components are required to run simulations.
