EDEM Tutorial 10: Material Calibration and Batch Mode Simulations using EDEM Cal and EDEMpy

Skill Level

Advanced

Model Overview

Repose angle analysis using EDEM and EDEMpy. Simulation setup using EDEM Cal.

Tutorial Overview

This tutorial is split into 3 parts. The first part uses EDEM stand-alone for analysis of repose angle using in-built tools and manual simulation setup.  Part 2 introduces EDEM Cal for automated simulation setup and parameter variation, Part 3 introduces automated analysis through EDEMpy linked to EDEM Cal.

• Creation of input model of box filled with particles and export of the Simulation Deck
• Physical test of the repose angle
• Calibration of the repose angle in EDEM
• Hertz-Mindlin with JKR contact model
• Introduction to the batch mode
• Introduction to EDEM Cal (part 2)
• Introduction to EDEMpy (part 3)
