About cdem2D
The Code
System Requirements
The Application
cdem2D is a 2D discrete element simulation code developed over many years by Stuart Hardy. It is written in C/C++ and parallelized using OpenMP. It is the compute "engine" with which the Application cdem2Ddesktop interacts.

Discrete Element Modelling for Geoscientists
Discrete Element Modelling (DEM) has typically been the domain of the expert-user using complex, expensive, software on High Performance Computing machines or resources. cdem2Ddesktop changes all that - a standalone Windows discrete element modelling application for Geoscientists written by one! Amongst other capabilities cdem2Ddesktop allows....
- Many different fault, wall and displacement boundary conditions
- High (10s m) to ultra-high spatial resolution (c. 1 m)
- Growth strata, erosion and associated baselevels
- Inversion
- Mechanical Stratigraphy
- Angle of Repose and Biaxial tests
- Stress and Strain calculation
- “Live” processing/visualisation of results
- OpenMP parallelized for maximum speed
