Solfec-1.0 implements instances of the Non--Smooth `Contact Dynamics <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_dynamics>`_
Method [1]_, [2]_ and the `Discrete Element Method <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrete_element_method>`_ using
MPI, C, Python and several 3rd party codes written in C/C++/Fortran. It includes mesh, convex polyhedra,
sphere and ellipsoid based shapes, linear elastic first order finite elements, pseudo-rigid and rigid
kinematics, velocity based Signorini--Coulomb contact/impact law, and a parallel time stepping combined
with a simple dynamic load balancing. Solfec-1.0 has been developed as a part of research [3]_, and it continues
to be developed and maintained since.
