LAGAMINE is a finite element code initially developed for the digital modelling of large deformations, mechanical problems and contact problems.

The code was developed in two different fields:

• the behaviour of metals
• geomechanics

The research carried out by the two teams have the same digital code allowed for a cross-fertilisation of both groups. The researchers’ ongoing work throughout the world as well as in universities and even industry has maintained this code at the cutting edge of technology and research.
