After analyzing your EDEM results within the EDEM Analyst, if you are interested in having the most impressive visualization of your simulation, then you should consider rendering your EDEM results using Inspire Studio.
Inspire Studio allows you to import EDEM h5 files directly to visualize your bulk material. You can load a single time-step or a range of time-steps. Any equipment can also be imported using the CAD files from the original EDEM simulation.
Any equipment or bulk materials that are to be rendered inside Inspire Studio will need to have a material assigned. For each material you can either choose one from Inspire Studio’s material library or create your own. You can also set a specific lighting or environment from the different settings available in the Rendering tab, or preview what your system looks like before moving onto rendering an image or animation of your simulation results.
Before commencing with the rendering, select a resolution from the available list of options or set the width and height in the Camera/Rendering settings from the Rendering tab. You can render a single image by clicking on ‘Render’ in the Rendering tab, or you can render an animation by clicking on ‘Render’ from the Animation tab.
Depending on how many frames are being rendered and the resolution used, it may take some time to complete the rendering process. Once the rendering is complete, you can enjoy viewing your simulation results with impressive animations like the ones below.
For a video walkthrough of the process check the following video: How to Render EDEM videos and images
You can also find some example files to give this a try and some additional information in this article: How to create photo-realistic renders of EDEM simulations using Inspire Studio
