.SH DESCRIPTION
.B ESyS-Particle 
ESyS-Particle is Open Source software for particle-based numerical 
modelling. The software implements the Discrete Element Method (DEM), a 
widely used technique for modelling processes involving large 
deformations, granular flow and/or fragmentation. ESyS-Particle is 
designed for execution on parallel supercomputers, clusters or 
multi-core PCs running a Linux-based operating system. The C++ 
simulation engine implements spatial domain decomposition via the 
Message Passing Interface (MPI). A Python wrapper API provides 
flexibility in the design of numerical models, specification of 
modelling parameters and contact logic, and analysis of simulation data. 
ESyS-Particle has been used to simulate earthquake nucleation, 
comminution in shear cells, silo flow, rock fragmentation, and fault 
gouge evolution, to name but a few applications.
