Based on discontinuous discrete element method and the discrete element software MatDEM, the following directions have been mainly developed recently: (1) simulation of rock and soil vibration and dynamic effects; (2) Multi body dynamics simulation of planetary wheel soil interaction; (3) Numerical simulation of pollutant transport in porous and fractured media; (4) Multi field coupled numerical simulation of geological hazards; (5) Artificial intelligence recognition of engineering events driven by monitoring data and simulation. Mature features and case codes are shared in the software, supporting thousands of users at home and abroad to conduct high-performance discrete element analysis.
