EDEMTM is the world`s first general-purpose CAE tool to use state-of-the-art discrete element modeling technology for the simulation and analysis of particle handling and manufacturing operations.
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 FactoryTM 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.
EDEM can be coupled directly with CFD software to model solid-fluid phase systems at the particle-scale. This uniquely enables modeling of systems where particle-particle and particle-wall interaction is critical to system behavior.
