Discrete Element Method DEM

Ansys will add Rocky DEM to its portfolio to help engineers solve challenging design problems involving discrete solids with complex multiphysics interactions, Ansys says.

Altair EDEM 2020 discrete element analysis software is made for bulk and granular material simulation.

Acquisition expands solver portfolio into discrete element method analysis.

EDEM 2019 rolls out new multi-GPU solver engine and tools for post-processing large amounts of data.

Discrete element method simulation software enhances particle collision analysis, spring and damper motion, fiber modeling improvements, and ANSYS Workbench integrated fluid–particle simulation.

Features and tools are being introduced, including a Python library for easier post-processing of large amounts of data, the ability to simulate deformable geometries as well as a new breakage model.

EDEM 2018 focuses on productivity and performance and includes features and enhancements that aim to enable users to speed up their workflow from setup to processing and analysis of simulations, the company reports.

Here's a simulation tool that enables engineers to include realistic bulk material loads as standard in LMS Virtual.Lab Motion multi-body solution.

New release of EDEM said to offer improve integration with CAE.
