Force chains

Iris_21266

Hello everyone,

I am conducting a simulation of bulk compression in EDEM and would like to visualize the force network chains, similar to the example below:

Would it be possible in post-processing? I would be very grateful for your reply.

Thank you in advance and kind regards,
Iris

Hi Iris,

You can find an example on how to plot the contact network in the following post: https://community.altair.com/community?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0121981

Please note that this code uses an old version of EDEMpy so some changes might be needed in order for it to work.

Best regards,
Renan
