A space for simulation related technical resources and discussions.
The most important part of any simulation is to gather, transfer and deliver the information obtained from the model. This usually includes some general system images or animations, in addition to some analysis. By using Altair® Inspire™ Studio to render Altair® EDEM™ results , you can visualize your system and bulk…
For the pharmaceutical, food processing and agriculture industries, it is often required to introduce a coating to particulate materials. This can be achieved with different types of equipment, from rotating drums to fluidized bed coaters. In this post you can find out how to model a Wurster coater by coupling Altair®…
1. Introduction Tableting is a fundamental unit operation in the pharmaceutical solid oral dose manufacturing process and has a significant influence on tablet quality attributes such as weight, dosage, structural integrity, and dissolution rate. Reliably meeting the associated quality standards requires optimal operation…
For the pharmaceutical, food processing and agriculture industries, spray coating of tablets and other materials is a commonly used method to introduce a coating to a particulate material. Coating is typically a batch process where the material of interest is placed in a rotating drum. A spray is then included, as the…
Predicting the interaction of tracks and or tires with soils is key to understanding a vehicles capability to traverse a terrain which is a critical performance indicator in the Off-road and Defence Industry. The ability to accurately predict the interaction of equipment and soil is also important in the Agricultural and…
In this post we discuss the challenges of modelling a blast furnace using Altair® EDEM™. Simulation files with an example already setup can be downloaded here: * Demo_BlastFurnace_SimulationFiles.zip The Steelmaking industry is working towards reducing carbon emissions, with a goal of being as close as possible to carbon…
A dump truck is used for transporting materials such as gravel, coal, rock, dirt, etc. A typical dump truck consists of an open bed connected to the rear end of the cabin. The truck body is equipped with hydraulic rams to unload the material. Dum trucks need to load and unload material quickly and without spillage to help…
Altair® EDEM™ is used to model storage and conveying of materials, mixing, segregation, breakage. With heavy equipment EDEM is used for tool ground interaction, material flow optimization and durability analysis. For more information about the wide range of EDEM applications you can see examples here: * EDEM Webinars *…
Bulk solids mixing is a fundamental operation in a wide range of industries with continuous mixing gaining popularity due its higher efficiency relative to batch mixing. Ensuring the reliable operation of continuous bulk solids mixers is key but the complex dynamic loading on the mixer drivetrain and the need for…
Achieving reliability in bulk solids mixing processes is key to meeting product quality requirements in a wide range of industries but physical trial-and-error optimization is time consuming and expensive. Altair EDEM enables the efficient virtual optimization of bulk solid mixing equipment and process operation.…
