In recent decades, with the acceleration of urbanization and rapid economic development, research on underground space development and utilization, ground improvement, disaster prevention and control in engineering geology, environmental geotechnical engineering, and other fields is increasing. With the advance of computer technology and the progress of computing power, numerical simulation methods have become an indispensable means to solve geotechnical engineering problems. Most of the numerical methods used in geotechnical engineering are the finite difference method (FDM), finite element method (FEM), boundary element method (BEM), discontinuous deformation analysis (DDA) method, discrete element method (DEM), particle flow method (PFM), etc.
