Sign-up for EDEM - Contact Models and Calibration

Altair® EDEMTM is high-performance software for bulk and granular material simulation. Powered by DEM (Discrete Element Software), EDEM quickly and accurately simulates and analyzes the behavior of coal, mined ores, soils, fibers, grains, tablets, powders, and more.

Who is this class for?
  • This class is designed for users who want to learn about contact models and related physical laws as well as about modeling particle solids and the importance of calibration using Altair® EDEMTM.
Prerequisites:


Course Summary and Agenda:

Session 1: EDEM - Contact Models

This training session focuses on the Contact Models and physics laws that will describe the behavior of the particles as they interact with each other and the equipment. The Contact Models are split into Base Contact Models, Rolling Friction and Additional Models.

Objectives:

  • Differentiate the 4 Base EDEM models (Hertz-Mindlin, JKR, EEPA, Hysteretic Spring)
  • Understand Rolling Friction Models
  • Identify key aspects of additional models (Wear, Bonding, Heat Conduction)
  • Demonstrate EDEM


Session 2: EDEM - Calibration

This training session focuses on the considerations for modeling particle solids with EDEM, introduces the philosophy and the importance of calibration. The participants will learn additional EDEM tools, such as the GEMM Database and the Calibration Kit during this training session.

Objectives:

  • Model approach for coarse materials
  • Model approach for powders
  • Use the GEMM Database
  • Implement the EDEM Calibration Kit
