Hello, everyone!
I’m a Ph.D. student studying underground engineering in China.
Currently, I want to implement a THMC simulation model for an underground repository. I want to implement it using MPM, and I want some help from the community. The most relative material I can find using Julia in the MPM implementation is the following one.
[https://www.researchgate.net/publication/312610697\_Programming\_the\_material\_point\_method\_in\_Julia](https://www.researchgate.net/publication/312610697_Programming_the_material_point_method_in_Julia)
## Do you have any experience with Julia in this area, maybe you can give me some guidance or material. (I plan to use Julia 1.0, so less dependence is preferred)
I know that there is already lots of code implementing the finite element method (FEM) in Julia which can help me a lot. I’m curious about the difference between JuAFEM.jl and JuliaFEM.jl though, and which one do you think can be modified for Julia 1.0 with fewer efforts?
Thank you!
Gery

Hello friend I am from UK, and doing the MPM as well. Can we have a chat? my email: [maguotao46@yahoo.com](mailto:maguotao46@yahoo.com)

Did you simulate something in Material Point Method using Julia? i’d like to use that too. Maybe you have some examples. Kind regards.
