EDEM Overview:

EDEM is the world's first general-purpose CAE tool designed using state-of-the-art discrete element modelling technology for the simulation and analysis of particle handling and manufacturing operations.

With EDEM you can quickly and easily create a parameterised 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's Particle Factory technology also provides a unique method for efficiently generating assemblies of particles in association with the machine geometry. Machine geometry is imported from your CAD or CAE system as a solid model or mesh. Machine components can be grouped and you can specify the kinematics of each group individually.


EDEM is the world's first DEM software that can be coupled directly with CFD software to model solid-fluid phase systems at the particle-scale. This uniquely enables modelling of systems where particle-particle and particle-wall interaction is critical to system behaviour. EDEM also couples with FEA tools: you can simulate the dynamic loading on machine components and export results directly to your preferred structural analysis tool.

EDEM is a powerful addition to the suite of LEAP's CAE software tools. We encourage our customers to utilise its unique capability to provide new insights in to your particulate processing and manufacturing operations.

CHoPS 2009: LEAP Australia and DEM Solutions presentations

Technical Staff from LEAP Australia and DEM Solutions will also be presenting two separate papers at the 6th International Conference for Conveying and Handling of Particulate Solids (CHoPS), which is being held in Brisbane, Australia on the 3rd - 7th August 2009.

LEAP Australia's paper will outline work on Particle-Structure Interaction (PSI) simulations completed using EDEM and ANSYS software. Please contact Kim Tesoriero for further information on these presentations. 

 

EDEM v2.2 now available!

EDEM v2.2 delivers impressive improvements in solver speed whilst making full use of the new generation of multicore processors. EDEM 2.2 includes many cutting-edge features developed in collaboration with customers in the Bulk Handling & Mining industries, which allow users to perform more effective particle simulations; for example, bulk solid data input using a mass generation rate (eg. T/hr).

EDEM 2.2 also supports coupling to the latest version of FLUENT, version 12.0; and is supplied with many new integrated contact models and the flexibility to customize your own advanced physics and particle properties. Existing EDEM users will notice an improved user interface, an optimized Fluid Dynamics Coupling Module for FLUENT, a new Dynamics Coupling option, and enhancements providing more efficient saving and restoration of data files.

For more information, or to discuss your individual modelling requirements, please contact the LEAP Australia EDEM Product Manager.
