Discover how Rocky DEM’s fiber model expands the types of problems that DEM can now solve

In Rocky DEM, Fibers are a relatively new category of particle shapes that are mainly one-dimensional, i.e., the geometry of a fiber can be described by a line (or several lines) in a three-dimensional space. Fibers can be made rigid or flexible, straight or...
