Does Chrono have an MPM algorithm?

[Zero]

Hello everyone!

I would like to ask whether the particle simulation algorithms in the Chrono library include any implementation related to MPM (Material Point Method).

[Dan Negrut]

No, there’s no MPM implementation in Chrono.

There is a mature SPH implementation though. Used for CDF and terramechanics (in Chrono, CRM terramechanics draws on SPH).

Hi

There are similar alternatives, depending on what you want to simulate. 

- there is the recent PERIDYNAMICS module (enable it in CMake) 

- there is SPH 

etc. 

Note that peridynamics runs on cpu, not yet on GPU.

As usual, look at the .cpp   demos to understand how to use the features.
