Yade is an extensible open-source framework for discrete numerical models, focused on Discrete Element Method. The project started as an offspring from SDEC at Grenoble University, now is being developed at multiple research institutes and has active and helpful user community.

The computation parts are written in c++ using flexible object model, allowing independent implementation of new alogrithms, interfaces with other software packages (e.g. flow simulation), data import/export routines. Python can be used to create and manipulate the simulation or for postprocessing.

Detailed reference documentation and theoretical background are here.

Source code and development website (bugs, blueprints, mailing lists) are hosted at launchpad.

This wiki is a general introduction and overview of Yade and its features. It also gives a quick tour of installation and usage (less detailed than in reference documentation).

Frequently asked questions on YADE

Installation

- YADE installation on Debian, Ubuntu/Kubuntu

Development

Version handling

Information on source code

Colliders performace

Other

Draft pages

Creep in polyhedral grains packings (snow model)

MOVE TO SPHINX

Publications (convert to bibtex; more useful for paper writers as well)
Authors and contributors
Yade history

TO REMOVE

News

First steps. Instruction how to start YADE simple simulation (in sphinx)
Explanation how to use graphic YADE interface (outdated)
3D graphics (much better situation now, typically works out of the box)
Going further (??)
Reported problems (https://bugs.launchpad.net/yade/ for this)

(already in the sphinx docs)

Examples and scripts (in sphinx mostly as well, quite outdated anyway)

TO UPDATE

Installation. Common information
- Installation details
- Required packages (outdated and is debian-specific; necessary packages are mentioned at the debian page already)

BLUEPRINTS

(blueprints can be linked to a wiki page, but that page cannot be hosted at launchpad itself (there is no wiki there). Therefore, we must keep those here (for future reference), but they don't have to be linked from anywhere, as their URL is in the blueprint already.
