DEM Solutions provide a range of training and support for EDEM customers from basic training to advanced DEM simulation techniques.
EDEM has a user-friendly GUI including a portfolio of tools for model set up, solver control and analysis of results. Complex models involving irregular particles and complex equipment geometry can be implemented without any programming required. A fully customisable API enables coupling with external models and other CAE tools.
We can provide 1-day basic and 2-day extended training classes. Each class includes a mixture of information exchange and hands-on training with EDEM. A typical agenda is as follows:

We can tailor the training to meet your requirements by focusing on your applications, couplings with other CAE software, or development of external models. Typically after Basic Training customers are ready to start applying EDEM to their applications.
We provide training at our UK and US offices, and at the offices of our distributors worldwide. On-site training can also be arranged. We also provide advanced training on application of discrete element simulation techniques and related numerical solutions to specific industrial applications.
Please contact us if you would like to arrange for EDEM training.
