Growing Matter Lab
Software
We develop and release open-source tools for the simulation methods we work on. Solvers and element libraries are typically written in Fortran or C++ for speed, with Python used for pre- and post-processing.
FEAP-AceGen
An element library for FEAP based on the Absolute Nodal Coordinate Formulation, generated symbolically with AceGen. Provides the large-deformation beam and continuum elements used in our soft-tissue and tendon models, including locking-alleviation and contact formulations.
Earlier releases
From the lab's earlier work in hydrodynamics and natural hazards engineering. These tools are maintained by the NHERI SimCenter.
HydroUQ
Uncertainty quantification workflow for hydrodynamic loading on coastal structures.
CFD Notebooks
Jupyter notebooks for teaching and reproducing computational fluid dynamics simulations.
