Basic DEM Benchmarking

Benchmark definition

The DEM Benchmarks consist of a set of 9 simple tests which are run every night and whose object is to make sure both that the application performs correctly and that the code did not break after the daily changes. They are the following:

Benchmark 1: Elastic normal impact of two identical spheres

The diagram shows the time evolution of the elastic contact force between two identical elements.

The velocity after the impact depends on the coefficient of restitution value. For COR=1 the module of the initial and final velocities should be the same. Furthermore, velocities should be equal for both spheres.
