Implementation in Software
Yade (Yet Another Dynamic Engine)
Pros
Reliable, modern code OpenMP-parallelization
Cons
Lower calculation speed No MPI-support LIGGGHTS (LAMMPS improved for general granular and granular heat transfer simulations)
Pros
MPI-support High calculation speed
Cons
Some problems with capillary simulations (v2.x) Old-style code
