# liggghts(1)

open source discrete element method particle simulation code.

## NAME

**LIGGGHTS** - open source discrete element method particle simulation code.

## SYNOPSIS

**liggghts** \< in.file

## DESCRIPTION

**LIGGGHTS** stands for LAMMPS improved for general granular and granular heat transfer simulations.  LAMMPS is a classical molecular dynamics simulator. It is widely used in the field of Molecular Dynamics.  Thanks to physical and algorithmic analogies, LAMMPS is a very good platform for DEM simulations.  LAMMPS offers a GRANULAR package to perform these kind of simulations. LIGGGHTS aims to improve those capability  with the goal to apply it to industrial applications.
