Dear yade users and developers,

I would like to bring the DEM capabilities of LAMMPS to your attention.
LAMMPS is an open source
molecular dynamics code that also provides possibilities for DEM simulations

(thanks to algorithmic and physical analogies). LAMMPS is on the open source
"market" since the mid90s.
It is thus quite mature, very fast and provides excellent documentation. 

Please refer to the homepage http://lammps.sandia.gov/ for download and
documentation.

For some simulation examples, please refer to
http://lammps.sandia.gov/movies.html#dem

The final movie ( http://lammps.sandia.gov/movies/gran_openfoam.avi ) shows
a new capability that
my colleague Christoph Goniva and I have developed to perform CFD-DEM
simulations by coupling LAMMPS
to the OpenFoam computational fluid dynamics (CFD) package. This allows us
to run CFD-DEM simulations
on clusters using MPI parallelism.

Some more videos and sample input scripts can be found at
http://fluid.jku.at/hp/index.php?option=com_docman&task=cat_view&gid=168

LAMMPS is written in C++ and very easy to modify. If you are interested in
LAMMPS, you are welcome 
to contact me! I would be happy if YADE and LAMMPS could profit from each
other.


Kind regards from Austria,

Christoph Kloss
