Abstract:

In this study a two-dimensional discrete element software has been developed in LabVIEW (National Instruments) environment. It has an easy-to-use, graphical user interface, and the graphical programming interface makes it easy to understand and modify program code. The software can be used for educational purposes, as the basics and practical application of the discrete element method can be easily illustrated, and it can also be used for research purposes, as new geometric and contact models can be implemented and tested in a relatively short time. The functionality of the program was illustrated by simulating a gravitational deposition of 300 randomly generated particles.
