EDEM 2.3

EDEM® is the world's only computer-aided engineering (CAE) software platform powered by state-of-the-art Discrete Element Modeling (DEM) technology, capable of generating the powerful simulations and analysis required to solve complex problems in the design, prototyping, and optimization of bulk material handling and process equipment.
With EDEM you can quickly and easily create a parameterized model of your granular solids system. CAD models of real particles can be imported to obtain an accurate representation of their shape. Add the mechanical, material and other physical properties to form your model particles. These can be stored in a library allowing you to build a collection specific to your processes.
EDEM manages information about each individual particle (mass, temperature, velocity and so on) and the forces acting on it. It can also take into account the particle's shape, rather than assuming that all particles are spherical. For post-processing, EDEM provides data analysis tools and 3D visualizations of the particle flow.
EDEM's Particle Factory technology provides a unique method for efficiently generating assemblies of particles in association with the machine geometry imported from your CAD or CAE system as a solid model or mesh. Machine components can be grouped; you can specify the kinematics of each group individually.
