For details about MPM, please refer to the course on the Material Point Method: https://www.math.ucla.edu/~cffjiang/research/mpmcourse/mpmcourse.pdf

Prerequisites

This codebase is tested using the environment with the following key packages:

• Ubuntu 20.04
• CUDA 11.6
• Python 3.9.13
• Warp 0.10.1

Installation

pip install -r requirements.txt

Examples

For sand column collapsing, run:

python run_sand.py

for water column collapsing, run:

python run_fluid.py

We allow flexible interactions with PyTorch, which makes it a great building block for Machine Learning + Simulation.
