Dear all, I would like to know if there is anyone working with the Material Point Method for simulations in Geomechanics (or other fields...).

Thanks,

Dorival. 

I was wondering if someone has interests on working with the material point method.

Cheers,

Dorival. 

From Jim Guilkey: You are invited to attend the Fourth MPM Workshop.  This year workshop will be held in Salt Lake City, Utah on the campus of the University of Utah, on March 17th & 18th, 2008.  The format will be similar to the previous workshops,  held at University of Utah, Oklahoma State University and Sandia National Laboratory, where relaxed environments facilitated understanding and awareness of the MPM's strengths and  weaknesses via informal talks and discussion.  Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, numerical implementation and properties, algorithm properties, variations and additions, and  applications.  Please feel free to pass this announcement along to other potentially interested colleagues.

MechSys is a C++ library to help the implementation of software for Mechanical Systems. There are 4 main modules in the library:
