In addition to what Ruochun suggested, look also at the co-simulation framework in Chrono::Vehicle which allows you to simulate vehicles (wheeled and tracked) on any of the deformable terrain models available in Chrono, as well as coupling Chrono::Vehicle models with third-party terramechanics packages. Currently, for granular dynamics the co-simulation framework only supports the Chrono::Multicore module (CPU multicore parallelization) and the Chrono::GPU module (single-GPU implementation). When I find some time, I will also include support for the stand-alone DEM-Engine package that Ruochun mentioned.

Hi, If a coupled simulation between a DEM system and a Chrono-managed multibody system is what you wanted, then definitely yes. For DEM, it is supported through a separate Chrono toolkit, DEM-Engine<https://github.com/projectchrono/DEM-Engine>. You can check out the README document to see if it fits your needs. If it does then you can proceed to install it as a library so it works together with Chrono core. Of course, there are other terrain representation types other than discrete elements, too. But I am not familiar with those.
