Discrete Element Method (DEM): Day Two - Hands-On Practice

Course Information

The majority of all products sold worldwide either are particles, or involve particles at some stage of production. In contrast to fluids, theoretical understanding of particulate systems is at an early stage and difficult to predict, largely due to the distribution of many properties (size, shape, cohesivity etc.) throughout the powder population. The Discrete Element Method (DEM) is the primary modelling approach to enable prediction of how particles behave in a certain processing situation. DEM enables investigation into the influence of material properties and processing conditions on the process outcome and can provide valuable insights to enable manufacturers to make informed decisions about process and formulation optimisation.

In this course you will get hands-on training and practice on EDEM software.

No prior knowledge of DEM/particle simulation methods is required.

No previous programming experience is required.

If you are unfamiliar with Simcenter EDEM, then you could just attend Day Two, however, if you want to also learn the theory then you could opt to attend both the theory (Day One) and practical (Day Two) elements of the course: Scroll to the bottom of the page for access to both days of the course
