Discrete element numerical simulation is an important method for studying the process and mechanisms of tectonic deformation, particularly suited for investigating geological issues related to tectonic deformation. VBOX uses a mature contact mechanics model and is equipped with comprehensive software manuals and structural simulation examples. It significantly outperforms other discrete element numerical simulation software （such asPFC2D，YADE）。 Furthermore, researchers with no programming background can also master VBOX in a short period of time.
