Course Summary

This course introduces the co-simulation solution between EDEM and Adams multibody-dynamics tool from MSC Software. Combining EDEM with Adams allows engineers to introduce realistic bulk material behaviors to their multi-body dynamics simulations, and offers engineers unrivaled insight into how material loads are transferred throughout a mechanical system.

During a co-simulation with Adams, EDEM calculates the bulk material forces and torques acting on the equipment during machine operation. These equipment loads are then passed to Adams, where equipment motion and response to the bulk material are simulated. Adams then returns the new velocity and position of the equipment to EDEM, and the co-simulation process continues to the next synchronization point.

Course length:
This is a short course that comprises two lessons. You will find out how to set up the co-simulation between EDEM and Adams using the Adams Co-Simulation Interface and how to start the co-simulation.

Certificate of Completion:
Once you have completed all lesson videos, you will receive a certificate of completion.

Notes:
Prior knowledge of EDEM and Adams is assumed. If you are unfamiliar with EDEM you can take the Overview of EDEM course.
