3.15 Discrete Section
This section defines the materials used by the discrete elements and assigns these materials to the discrete elements sets defined in the Mesh section. The materials are defined via the discrete_material element and the materials are assigned to discrete element sets using the discrete element.
<Discrete>
<discrete_material id="1" type="nonlinear spring">
<force lc="1">1.0</force>
</discrete_material>
<discrete_material id="2" type="linear spring">
<E>2.0</E>
</discrete_material>
<discrete dmat="1" discrete_set="springs1"/>
<discrete dmat="2" discrete_set="springs2">
</Discrete>
The discrete_material and the discrete elemens are defined in more detail below.
