High-performance Discrete Element Method (DEM) Software for bulk and granular material simulation.
Altair EDEM
Description
EDEM is high-performance Discrete Element Method (DEM) Software for bulk and granular material simulation. Powered by DEM, EDEM quickly and accurately simulates and analyzes the behavior of coal, mined ores, soils, fibers, grains, tablets, powders, and more. Leading companies in the heavy equipment, off-road, mining, steelmaking, and process manufacturing industries use EDEM to understand and predict granular material behaviors, evaluate equipment performance, and optimize processes.
EDEM simulation provides engineers with crucial insight into how those materials will interact with their equipment during a range of operation and process conditions. It can be used stand-alone or combined with other CAE tools.
Key Features
Instant Access to Material Models Libraries
