Hi Alex, >From what I know, the granular terrain or the related submodule Chrono::GPU is not wrapped in PyChrono. I'd mention that Chrono's DEM/granular support is moving towards being based on a new DEM package <https://github.com/uwsbel/DEM-Engine> that I'm working on, which can interface Chrono like its predecessor, but is faster and supports complex/various sized particles. You can have look at the movie of a simulation this solver generates <https://uwmadison.box.com/s/di19pxue36y6gtd1bn6nl3ay9tpvwbjk>. If this is something you are looking for, then we can discuss more details. This package however, is now in C++. Its Python wrapper is expected to be online, but it can take ~3 months.
About the "rectangle filled with particles" presentation, it is probably Chrono::Multicore, but I am not familiar with that. Thank you!
