EDEM simulations provide crucial insight into how granular materials will interact with their equipment during a range of operation and process conditions.  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.

Prerequisites:

Completion of EDEM e-learning and EDEM Introduction training is recommended.
