Tips

In the following, we will introduce the code structure and design logic of the solver, which we call as the Interface. After understanding the code logic, we provide several practical examples in the Tutorial to demonstrate how users should use the solver. Next, we discuss the advanced usage of the solver, mainly involving customizing the MPM process/algorithm. This is a very powerful feature, allowing users to implement their algorithms at any level and seamlessly integrate them into any accelerator backend. Finally, we list some very useful functions (Useful Tools) in this package.

In Julia, if you have any questions about a function, you can type ? in the REPL followed by the function name, for example:

julia

julia>?
help?> materialpointsolver!
search: materialpointsolver! MaterialPointSolver

  materialpointsolver!(args::DeviceArgs{T1, T2}, grid::DeviceGrid{T1, T2}, 
      mp::DeviceParticle{T1, T2}, attr::DeviceProperty{T1, T2}, 
      bc::DeviceVBoundary{T1, T2}; workflow::Function=procedure!)

  Description:
  ============

  This function is the main function of the MPM solver, user has to pre-define the data of args, grid, mp, attr and bc,
  they are the model configuration, background grid, material points, particle property and boundary conditions (2/3D).

If you have any questions about this solver, please do not hesitate to file an issue on GitHub Issue.
