Hello!

I want to konw how to transfer force between geometries, like between car and wheel. Example like EDEM car simulation ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Aw1lUGUqVc ).

I tied parent and child geometry, but it seems like force of child cant be transfered to parent.

Thanks!

    Hello,

    To achieve this, your best bet would be to couple EDEM to and MBD code like Altair MotionSolve. This would allow you to get a much more complex set of dynamics and responses between different components that EDEM on its own does not calculate. I hope that this helps.

    Kind regards
