Finite-Discrete Element Method (FDEM) software recommendation

[miraboreasu]

Hello, I am looking for FDEM software that can do poroelasticity and has a hydraulic solver besides a mechanics solver.

Thank you for notifying me :-)

@miraboreasu Can you say what exactly you want to simulate ? FDEM is relatively new and quite specific so it may not be easy to find its ready-made software implementations (especially with those additional requirements). This article mentions some particular codes: https://www.hindawi.com/journals/sv/2021/6622926/
But maybe your problem can be solved also with other, more common methods.

When it comes to mainstream commercial software, perhaps coupling of e.g. Ansys and RockyDEM could help you. Ansys itself also provides some CFD-DEM and FEA-DEM coupling capabilities.
