May 12, 2008 - Desktop Engineering's Pick of the week:
EDEM Simulates a Million-Plus Particles on Desktop
Tony Lockwood says: "DEM is a branch of CAE that has been the object of academic, mega-corporation, and government development since the ‘80s. The object of DEM is to solve the dynamic contact interactions of a system of particles in motion. This involves complex phenomena such as the nonlinear interaction of the particles (materials, mass, temperature, velocity, etc.), flow, and machine dynamics.
DEM is the missing analysis link that fills that multiphysics void where CFD, FEA, and multibody dynamics happen upon each other but cannot combine to give you a solution. But like the early days of FEA or CFD, most existing DEM applications are point solutions developed in-house by and for Ph.D.s to run on massive computer systems. DEM Solutions makes DEM modeling for everyday engineers using everyday engineering workstations. The software is called EDEM, and it's just out in version 2".

January 30, 2007 - Jenike & Johanson and Clarkson University Awarded NASA Contract to Develop New Modeling Approaches for Bulk Granular Material
The need to design equipment to move and store bulk solids exists in a wide variety of industries. Indeed, almost every industry handles one and often more bulk solids in production plants. Solids handling problems are common, and engineers need a variety of tools to solve and prevent them. One tool that is being increasingly recognized for its ability to drive cost out of product development and shorten time-to-market by reducing physical prototypes is computer-aided-engineering (CAE). NASA has specialized needs in modeling of bulk solid systems such as designing equipment to operate in lunar or Martian environments and modeling the degradation of insulation material in storage tanks for space shuttle fuel.
