Examples
Simulate two-dimensional (2D) Brazilian tensile strength (BTS) test using the GUI version of HFDEM
Build the following finite element mesh using any finite element software such as ABAQUS / Salome + Gmsh and output the mesh topology in BTS2D.inp
Convert BTS2D.inp into ElementNodeTopology2D.dat by running the python script Python2D_Abaqus_To_HFDEM.py in Spyder
Run HFDEM and import ElementNodeTopology2D.dat into HFDEM
Specify control parameters and activate the computing engine
Visualize the simulation results using HFDEM or Paraview
Simulate 2D uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) test using the GUI version of HFDEM (under construction)
Simulate three-dimensional (3D) BTS test using the GUI version of HFDEM (under construction)
Simulate 3D UCS test using the GUI version of HFDEM (under construction)
