Hi,

I noticed that it is possible to add a constant acceleration in a geometry linear translation motion. However, I have no idea how to add a time-varying acceleration to a geometry in EDEM? Is there any possible way? Do I have to use coupling tools api?

 

Regards,

    Hi Yang,

    You can add multiple kinematics to a simulation.  So kinematic 1 can be 0-10 s at one acceleration and kinematic 2 can be 10-20 s with a second value.
