I'm using abaqus2017 coupling EDEM2023, this error happens even after I locate the right ABQlauncher.exe, anyone may know the reason?

And the help document of Abaqus EDEM coupling cannot be open on "Altair Knowledge Article View - Altair Community" even after log in.

Thanks anyone who can provide any clue.

    Hi Qin,

    Unfortunately we no longer support the EDEM-Abaqus coupling. You can export particle, geometry and contact forces and positions and import to Abaqus manually, or look at using the Analyst > Export > Hypermesh data export.

    We have examples with EDEM-SimSolid here:

    edem-simsolid-tutorial

    and EDEM Hypermesh here:

    EDEM-Hypermesh

    Or consider the 2-way EDEM-OptiStruct coupling:

    Regards

    Stephen

    Thank you for the advice, however the adaptability between EDEM and HyperStudy is not idealized, and the link pointed to a empty website.

    HyperStudy 2022.0/2022.1/2022.3/2023.0/2023.1/2024.0 all do not have EDEM option when adding new model, not as same as the tutorial video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuO91mCMmjo).

    I hope to gain help from technician, not automatic reply.

    Our group intend to buy the product, if we can get responsible enough support.

    Hi Qin

    Unfortunately, EDEM is not a native solver for HyperStudy as of now. Please refer to this link for connection between EDEM and HyperStudy: https://community.altair.com/community/en/edem-hyperstudy-connector-installers-and-user-guide?id=kb_article&sysparm_article=KB0122022

    Stephen Cole is not an automatic reply - he is the one of the best support with EDEM. You always get great support with the software purchase - the Altair community is intended for general questions and is different from the software support. If you wish to buy EDEM, please fill out this form, and someone will reach out to you: https://altair.com/contact-us/?app=EDEM
    If you have already purchased EDEM, then you can access the software support by sending your questions to hwsupport@altair.com.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks,
    Jerrin Job
