EDEM’s API enables coupling with other CAE software and external models. DEM Solutions develop couplings on request. We have particular expertise in DEM-CFD, DEM-FEA and DEM-MBD coupling.
EDEM is the first commercial DEM software to be coupled directly with CFD software to model solid-fluid phase systems at the particle-scale. This capability enables particle-fluid problems to be simulated which can not successfully be addressed using CFD multi-phase models on their own such as pneumatic transport of particles, fluidized beds, slurry handling and separation processes and many more. Explicit solution of particle-particle and particle-wall interactions is particularly useful for simulating systems involving changes build-up of particles (transition from dilute to dense packing) or dispersion of particles in a fluid (transition from dense to dilute). EDEM can be used to compute the dynamics of the solid phase including fluid drag forces with or without momentum exchange with the fluid phase.
