## README

# [Open source FEM-DEM coupling](https://github.com/stranskyjan/dem-fem-coupling)
Open source codes for coupling of Finite Element Method and Discrete Element Method using
[YADE](http://yade-dem.org),
and
[OOFEM](http://www.oofem.org)
softwares.

## Compatibility
Compilation and examples were tested on [Ubuntu 18.04 LTS](http://www.ubuntu.com/) system,
using OOFEM 2.5
and
YADE 2019.01a.
Postprocessing was done using [Paraview 5.4.1](https://www.paraview.org/).

## Installation
There is [Makefile](installation/Makefile), which downloads, compiles and installs all necessary softwares.
It also modifies some part of source codes to make them all compatible.
Run `make help` for more info.

## Examples
See [examples](examples) directory.
