Yade
From Yade
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 (see details in reference documentation).

REPLACE WITH SPHINX LINKS
Links needed in wiki main page. They still display the wiki pages but might point to equivalent sphinx pages (some are listed above and duplicated here).
- Publications (convert to bibtex; more useful for paper writers as well) (in sphinx)
- Authors and contributors
- Yade history
- Python3Intro (and maybe Python Primer?)
- First steps. Instruction how to start YADE simple simulation (in sphinx)
- Simple Scene Tutorial
- Simple Scene Cpp
- Simple Scene Python
Candidate sphinx pages for replacement are :
