Is it possible to model polymer fiber in Altair EDEM?

Shajid

Hi, I'm a graduate student at ncsu trying to model randomly generated polymer fiber using discrete elemental method. Is it possible with Altair EDEM to model that?

hi Shajid,

 

We can generate flexible fibre type material, you can see a video on this here:

Also have a list of tutorials which can be found in the link below:

The two bonded particle tutorials are:

1. How to use the bonded particle model to generate flexible materials for cutting (e.g. mowers and grass cutting)
2. Using Spherocylinders with bonds for flexible materials

 

Regards

Stephen
