I’m conducting a simulation using a centrifugal impact crusher. I want to show the motion where the material gets crushed from large pieces into smaller ones. However, I don't have the Breakage plugin. How can I achieve this effect without the plugin? Is there a way to import a plugin, or is it possible to create this effect without using a plugin? I’m not sure how to do it at all.
Hi
The Plugin Factories are used for custom factories, wherein you can choose to "spawn" the materials into your simulation in a way that is not defined in the default settings. If breakage is your main goal, you do not need plugin factories at all.
For breakage simulations, you will want to use the breakage model in the 'Physics' part, and select the Tavares UFRJ breakage model. Here is a tutorial on how to use the breakage model: https://community.altair.com/community/en/edem-tutorial-4-tavares-breakage-for-sag-mill?id=kb_article&sysparm_article=KB0037184
Hope this helps.
Thanks,Jerrin Job

My work is similar to this clip.

"I followed all the steps, but the material that was generated doesn't break down into small particles. What could be the reason?" My work is similar to this clip.https://youtu.be/owmh4Q2vCBc?si=0cgI3WqAnExsXybJ

It is possible that the energy you specified for breakage is too high, and the particle impact energy never reaches that value, because of which it does not break.
You may want to look at your energy values and make sure that it is correct for your material.
