The Discrete Element Method (DEM) is a particle-scale numerical method for modeling the bulk behavior of granular materials and many geomaterials such as coal, ores, soil, rocks, aggregates, pellets, tablets and powders.
In this eBook you will learn about:
– Modeling Approaches
– DEM Background
– Particle Motion
– Time Steps
– Interaction Models
– Contact Detection
– Particle Shapes
– Material Calibration
– Geometries in DEM
– DEM Coupling

Learn more about EDEM – the market-leading Discrete Element Method (DEM) software for bulk and granular materials simulation.

This introductory webinar will explain the basics of setting-up, running and analyzing a simulation in EDEM – with the example of a front-end loader handling a rock-like material.

It will also highlight how EDEM can be customized using its Application Programming Interface (API) for simulating complex and advanced material behavior. Finally it will introduce the coupling solutions available between EDEM and finite element analysis (FEA), multi-body dynamics (MBD) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD).
