Course Outline:

EDEM® is 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 engineers with crucial insight into how those materials will interact with their equipment during a range of operation and process conditions.  This training session focusses on the Contact Models and physics laws in EDEM, the Contact Models describe the behavior of the particles as they interact with each other and the equipment.

Prerequisites:

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

Goals and Objectives:

• Employ base physics models (Hertz-Mindlin, JKR, EEPA, Hysteretic spring)
• Compose rolling friction models
• Identify key aspects of additional models (Wear, Bonding, Heat Conduction)
