EDEM 2018

EDEM 2018, developed by DEM Solutions, is a Discrete Element Method (DEM) software application used to simulate and analyze the behavior of bulk and granular materials. It enables engineers to predict how rocks, ores, soil, pellets, grains, and powders flow and interact with equipment under real operating conditions, helping optimize designs and reduce the need for physical prototyping.

Key capabilities include:

• Physically realistic particle modeling with a range of contact and cohesion models
• Scalable solvers with CPU and GPU acceleration for large particle counts
• Straightforward import of CAD geometry and flexible particle size and shape definitions
• Comprehensive visualization and post-processing to assess flow patterns, forces, wear hotspots, segregation, residence time, and throughput
• Co-simulation interfaces with leading CFD, FEA, and MBD tools to capture fluid–particle interactions, structural loads, and machine motion
• Workflows tailored to industries such as mining, heavy equipment, agriculture, and process manufacturing

Typical applications include the design and optimization of hoppers, chutes, conveyors, crushers, mills, mixers, excavators, and haulage systems. By providing detailed insight into material handling and equipment performance, EDEM 2018 helps improve reliability, increase productivity, reduce energy consumption and wear, and de-risk scale-up from lab to plant or field.
