Hello Everybody,

I want to know if in EDEM exists, any option available to graph the discharge trajectory of the bulk material simulated? I tried to find it in the Analyst section in the graph tab, but I could not.

Thank you for your responses

    Hi Pablo,


    In EDEM  you can use streamlines to visualise the trajectory :

    https://2022.help.altair.com/2022.2/EDEM/Analyst/AnalystTree-Display.htm

    Otherwise you could use selections to select a set of particles and export the X,Y,Z positions (over time if required or 1 time-step), its not something that is plotted by default but the data is there for the analysis.

    Regards

    Stephen

    Thank you Stephen for your response,

     

    How do I select a set of particles and export its position over time.

     

    Thank you for your time.

    Hi Pablo,

    You can use the Manual Selection function.  It's shown in the e-learning:

    In the e-learning it's Lesson 17.6: Creating Selection Groups.
