Welcome to Yade

Yade is an extensible open-source framework for discrete numerical models, focused on Discrete Element Method. The computation parts are written in c++ using flexible object model, allowing independent implementation of new alogrithms and interfaces. Python is used for rapid and concise scene construction, simulation control, postprocessing and debugging.

Yade is located at www.yade-dem.org, which contains this documentation and wiki. Development is kindly hosted at launchpad; it is used for source code, bug tracking, planning, package downloads and more.
