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

The code is developed in two different fields by two reasearch teams:

• the behaviour of metals (MSM team)
• geomechanics (GEG team)

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.
