Question: Will the sliding friction be reported in the EDEM Analyst?

Hello everyone,

In my last question, I asked about the fact that EDEM can only derive spring forces without reporting damping forces：

I still have some puzzles about the details of software processing. When sliding occurs, the tangential force is considered as sliding friction. I saw the relevant calculation formula in API.

What I want to know is, when I select "tangential force" in export, does edem treat sliding friction as tangential spring force and export it together? Or treat it as a damping force and not report it? Or even if sliding occurs, edem still exports F_ t instead of sliding friction?

 

Sincerely，

Yu
