Tribol: Contact Interface Physics Library

High fidelity simulations modeling complex interactions of moving bodies require specialized contact algorithms to enforce zero-interpenetration constraints between surfaces. Tribol provides a unified interface for various contact algorithms, including contact search, detection and enforcement, thereby enabling the research and development of advanced contact algorithms.

Quick Start Guide

Clone the repository

git clone --recursive [email protected]:LLNL/Tribol.git

Setup for development

Development tools can optionally be installed through the Spack package manager. Development tools are typically not needed when using Tribol. The command to install development tools is

python3 scripts/uberenv/uberenv.py --project-json=scripts/spack/devtools.json --spack-env-file=scripts/spack/configs/<platform>/spack.yaml --prefix=../tribol_devtools

where <platform> is one of blueos_3_ppc64le_ib_p9, linux_ubuntu_20, linux_ubuntu_22, toss_4_x86_64_ib, or toss_4_x86_64_ib_cray. Please verify scripts/spack/configs/<platform>/spack.yaml matches your system configuration.

Installing dependencies

Tribol dependency installation is managed through uberenv, which invokes a local instance of the spack package manager to install and manage dependencies. To install dependencies, run

python3 scripts/uberenv/uberenv.py --spack-env-file=scripts/spack/configs/<platform>/spack.yaml --prefix=../tribol_libs

See additional options by running

python3 scripts/uberenv/uberenv.py --help

Tribol is tested on three platforms:

  • Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (via Windows WSL 2)
  • TOSS 4
  • BlueOS

See scripts/spack/packages/tribol/package.py for possible variants in the spack spec. The file scripts/spack/specs.json lists spack specs which are known to build successfully on different platforms. Note the development tools can be built with dependencies using the +devtools variant.

Build the code

After running uberenv, a host config file is created in the tribol repo root directory. Use the config-build.py script to create build and install directories and invoke CMake.

python3 ./config-build.py -hc <host-config>

Enter the build directory and run

make -j

to build Tribol.
