The event is open to students, postdoctoral researchers, faculty, as well as industry professionals. We welcome abstract submissions on applications and new developments in MPM addressed to improve, validate and show the capabilities of Anura3D. 

The workshop aims to:

• Bring the Anura3D Community together including users and developers
• Solicit feedback from users, facilitate networking and encourage collaborations
• Attract new users from academia and industry by showing the capabilities of Anura3D
• Attract new developers by teaching how to use the Anura3D code
• Provide a platform to present advanced applications and new developments
Sessions

The event will be organized into:

• Training sessions on Anura3D for both users and new developers

• Interactive sessions to facilitate discussions on specific topics between participants and developers

About Anura 3D

Anura3D is an open-source code based on the Material Point Method, developed for advanced numerical modelling of large deformations and soil-water-structure interaction problems. Its application fields include in geotechnical engineering, among others, embankments, earth dams, landslides, soil excavation, impact and penetration problems in saturated and unsaturated soils.

Abstract submission

One-page abstract of relevant research work can be suibmitted before September 8, 2024. Accepted abstracts will be presented as oral presentations during the workshop.
