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 (less detailed than in reference documentation).

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.
