EDEM Introduction

EDEM® is a high-performance software for bulk and granular material simulation.  EDEM quickly and accurately simulates and analyzes the behavior of granular materials such as coal, mined ores, soils, fibers, grains, tablets, and powders.  EDEM simulation provides you with crucial insight into how those materials will interact with their equipment during a range of operation and process conditions.  This training session introduces the Discrete Element Method and the EDEM Workflow, allowing attendees to gain experience in the setup of an EDEM simulation.

Prerequisites: 

Completion of EDEM e-learning is recommended.
