Is there any tools in EDEM to calculate detachment of primary particles from agglomerates?

Hello everybody, 
I investigated particles agglomeration in a turbulent flow by coupling EDEM and Fluent.
I want to know about detachment of primary particles from flocs due to the hydrodynamic forces.
Is there any tools in EDEM to measure this feature?
If not, do you have any idea to write a code in EDEMpy?

Regards,
Fatemeh

    Hi Fatemeh,

    There's nothing like that built into EDEM, unfortunately.

    The combination of Python and EDEMpy is incredible flexible and I'm sure you could write something that would get what you are after, but as I'm not familiar with your process I don't know any specifics I can advise on. All I can recommend is taking a look at the EDEMpy tutorials and examples for inspiration. If there is nothing there of use then I'd look at the literature for something similar and convert that to Python + EDEMpy.

    Cheers,

    Richard
