How to view a plane for voidage in EDEM Analyst?

I wanted to make a contour plot of my coarse fluidized bed shown below, and the expected plot looks like the example posted by Altair in the second photo. How can I do this in EDEM?

I tried using the nodal modes via bidirectional coupling, but I believe the cylindrical periodic boundaries don't enable the coupling interface. So, I can only use CFD to DEM via .cgns.

Additionally, I don't see the continuum analysis.

Hi Sophia,

The example plot which you're referring to, is from EDEM+AS 2-way coupling.

The plot shown with the legend is from CFD i.e volume fraction plot which says the proportion of solid and fluid volume fractions. Hence, the plot can be obtained with only 2-way coupling.

whereas, .cgns file which you mentioned will be helpful to run one-way coupling where you cannot be able to get a volume fraction plot.

Thanks,

Hi Sophia,

Just to add you can see a tutorial on the 2-way coupling here which includes volume fraction plot:
