Is there an EDEM-CFD software for friction stir welding simulation?

I am doing my MSc thesis on the "Characterization of mass & heat flow and prediction of mechanical tensile strength in stationary shoulder friction stir welding using discrete element modeling coupled with computational fluid dynamics". So, I am interested in using the EDEM-CFD software if there is any. Help me please, thank you!

Hi Enawgaw,

I am not familiar enough with friction sitr welding to comment on the specific aplciation however for EDEM-CFD I'd consider using EDEM-AcuSolve coupling.

Can I utilize EDEM-ANSYS Fluent for the friction stir welding simulation? Thank you for your reply.
