  Yade is an extensible open-source framework for discrete numerical models,
focused on the Discrete Element Method. The computation parts are written in
c++ using a flexible object model and allowing independent implementation of
new algorithms and interfaces. Python is used for rapid and concise scene
construction, simulation control, postprocessing and debugging. Yade is located
at yade-dem.org, which contains this documentation. Development is kindly
hosted on launchpad and GitLab ; they are used for source code, bug tracking
and source downloads and more. Building, regression tests and packages
distribution are hosted on servers of the Grenoble Geomechanics group at
Laboratoire 3SR, UMS Gricad and Gda\'nsk University of Technology. Yade
supports high precision calculations and Python 3. The development branch is on
GitLab.
