Multi-sphere method: Resolved non-spherical particles

LIGGGHTS® features high-performance, open source, customizable DEM simulations.
It allows resolved handling of non-spherical particles by clumping multiple spheres together (multi-sphere method)

Example - multi-sphere approximation of particle CAD mode generated by 3D laser scanning

Drupal

Example - pouring a continuous stream of non-spherical particles

Example - pouring a continuous stream of non-spherical particles

Example - red particles are clumped together to form one rigid body
