Dear EDEM community,

Is it possible to feed EDEM parameters (such as sliding and rolling friction) automatically using a Python script and without the need to open the software and use the user interface?

Thanks for your help in advance!

    Hi Ahmed,

     

    There are a series of EDEMpy 'set' functions including the friction.

     

    If you to go the Altair 2022.3 install folder > \EDEM\EDEMpy\help > Index.html > Module Index > edempy.creatorData.Mateirals the functions are detailed there.

    The e-learning details an older version of EDEMpy so the functions have changed however it gives you an overview of EDEMpy.
