The goal of this thesis is to develop a constraint based viscoplastic fluid model suitable for time-efficient dynamics simulation in 3D of granular matter. The model should be applicable to both the static and dense flow regime and at large pressures. The thesis is performed for UMIT Research Lab at Umeå University. It is a part of the research at UMIT connected to LKAB and Volvo CE and its applications can be in simulating industrial processes or training simulators. My work is based on previous work done by Claude Lacoursière, Martin Servin and Kenneth Bodin. They have created a constraint fluid model based on {\sph} and Claude's PhD. thesis. This model is extended with additional constraints to handle shear forces, which is necessary to model granular material. Some test cases are specified and compared visually to each other and to the results of other work. The model seems to work visually but more analysis and larger systems are needed to be certain. The model should scale well and is well suited for parallellization.
