How to calculate and display the Shear rate in system?

Clemenslischka

Hi all,

i need to calculate the shear rate in my system. Is it possible the calculate and display this in EDEM? Also a histogram of the different shear rates would be nice!

Thanks!

Hi Clemens,

You can compute the shear strain rate tensor in Python from continuum velocity grid data, computed with the EDEM continuum analysis functionality.

Further details and a Python implementation can be found here:
