New TRACE simulator enhances granular dynamics simulations with edge-based memory

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed TRACE, a novel graph network simulator designed for granular dynamics that improves upon existing methods by storing spatiotemporal contact history directly on graph edges. This approach, utilizing attention-based message passing and a gated recurrent unit, allows for more accurate long-horizon simulations of granular motion. TRACE demonstrates significant reductions in position and deposit errors compared to previous simulators and offers substantial speedups over traditional methods like the Material Point Method, while maintaining physical consistency.

    TRACE: Spatiotemporal Contact Memory Graph Network Simulator for Granular Dynamics

    arXiv:2609.02991v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Learned graph simulators provide an efficient alternative to high-fidelity solvers for granular dynamics. However, granular motion depends strongly on inter-granular contact history, which is difficult to preserve when particle co…
