Discrete element methods (DEM) comprise a family of related mathematical tools for determining the kinematic behavior of finite-sized particles.

Discrete element methods (DEM) comprise a family of related mathematical tools for determining the kinematic behavior of finite-sized particles.
As defined by Cundall, discrete element methods allow 1. finite displacement, rotation and separation of elements, and 2. new particle contacts are recognized
algorithmically as the simulation proceeds.
