Analysing Results
The EDEM Analyst provides an effective means to post process the results generated from the EDEM Simulator. Data analysis and visualisation tools in EDEM enable model performance to be investigated in many different ways.
Visualisation
3D play-back of the simulated model
- Export of images to .bmp and .png formats for video creation.
- Mesh, node and shaded solid display modes.
- Cutaway views created using planes and slices.
- Various particle representations including vectors, streams and templates.
- Dynamic colouring of elements relative to any physical attribute (e.g. force, velocity or distance travelled), element type or selected group.
- Contact visualisation using contact forces or overlaps.
- User-definable bin and selection groups of particular areas of a model or specific elements.
Data mining
Export of data to .csv or .case (Ensight) formats.
- Recording and export of spacial analysis and transient data.
- User-definable data export queries.
- Extraction of data from user-specified bin and selection groups.
- Data compression and truncation.
- Analyse specific contact combinations, for example particle A and wall C.
Graphing
Graph data using EDEM's build in graphing program.
- Plot data using histograms, pie charts, line graphs and scatter plots.
- Graphing of both primary and secondary variables.
- Export of graph images to .bmp and .png formats for video creation.
- Graphing of data from user-specified groups.
