The Eulerian code PAGOSA now contains an option for the forward time integration of any user selected material in the Lagrangian frame of reference. This option is accomplished using a Multifield version of Brackbill’s FLIP plus Sulsky’s MPM. FLIP+MPM is a Marker Lagrangian scheme that is not to be confused with well known Grid Lagrangian schemes. This Marker Lagrangian method allows materials to undergo completely arbitrary deformation, up to and including fracture and separation. Using this option makes PAGOSA into a mixed frame simulation tool such that fluids can be integrated in the Eulerian frame and solids integrated in the Lagrangian frame. Boundaries between the fields are said to be ’immersed’ in the computational domain, and their nature is formulated using Multifield Theory. Each Marker in a field of FLIP+MPM material tracks the thermodynamic state of a small (but finite) piece of mass. Initiation of the Markers using the geometry and material information from CAD Assembly files is the subject of the talk. The ease and speed with which the dynamics of the assembly can be studied is demonstrated.
