GEMSS: A C++ Library for Multi-Sphere Modeling in DEM Simulations
Arash Moradian, Felix Buchele, Thorsten Poeschel
GEMSS (GEnerator of Multi-Sphere Shapes) converts 3D surface meshes or voxel grids into multi-sphere representations of granular particles using the recently published MSS algorith…
Why the Multi-Sphere Shape Generator Works: Medial-Axis Placement of Spheres
Arash Moradian, Felix Buchele, Thorsten Poeschel
The Multi-Sphere Shape Generator (MSS) [1] places spheres according to a feature-enhanced residual field, but the geometric basis of this strategy has remained unknown. We prove th…
multisphere: a Python implementation of the Multi Sphere Shape generator (MSS) for DEM simulations
Felix Buchele, Patric Müller, Thorsten Pöschel
multisphere is an open-source Python package for generating multi-sphere representations of complex particles for use in DEM simulations. It reconstructs triangulated surface meshe…
Multi-sphere shape generator for DEM simulations of complex-shaped particles
Felix Buchele, Thorsten Pöschel, Patric Mueller
MSS is an algorithm to determine the radii and positions of spheres that fill a given volume. In the context of granular materials, MSS is a particle generator for DEM simulations…
Model geometries of porous materials
Felix Buchele, Patric Müller, Michael Blank +1
We describe a method for modeling the geometry of porous materials. The approach enables the independent selection of crucial parameters, including porosity, pore size distribution…
