It can couple seamlessly with Altair OptiStruct™, Altair MotionSolve™ and Altair AcuSolve™, as well as with 3rd party software.ĮDEM software is made of 3 core components: EDEM Creator, Simulator, and Analyst.ĮDEM Creator is the pre-processor for setting up an EDEM simulation model, EDEM Simulator is a powerful solver for fast and efficient simulations while EDEM Analyst is the post-processing environment where simulations are reviewed and analyzed. Altair EDEM allows for faster workflows and includes tools for quick and easy simulation setup.EDEM has the interfaces and functionality to couple with all of the major CAE technologies such as finite element analysis (FEA), multi-body dynamics (MBD) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD). HyperWorks 2019.1 or later EDEM 2019. Through EDEM, you can simulate the interaction of multi-bodies with granular materials such as stones, sand, grass, capsules, and so on. The main objective of the EDEM simulation tool from Altair is to give engineers insights about the interaction between materials such as pellets, tablets, powders, coal, soil, and rocks with machinery. MotionSolve is able to do co-simulation with Altair/EDEM, using the bulk material simulation interface. Altair EDEM is a versatile tool that allows customers to design and develop power machinery while simultaneously optimizing how this equipment processes and handles bulk materials. The Discrete Element Method (DEM) is a particle-scale numerical method for modelling the bulk behaviour of granular materials and many geo-materials, especially naturally occurring minerals.
