EDEM API - Contact Model Example: Cumulative force on particles

jerrinjobs

Overview

This API can be used as a metric to determine the damage on individual particles. The force on particles are calculated, and accumulated across every contact of the particle.

Pre-Requisite

EDEM 2024.0

Usage/Installation Instructions

The zip file contains the source code, and also the compiled library file (.dll) for CPU and the CUDA file (.cu) for GPU.

The API must be positioned below the contact models whose force values are to be accumulated. You also have the option to choose the start time from which the accumulation can start, and can also specify a minimum force value below which any force values will not be used for accumulation.

The API can be used for particle-particle interactions, particle-geometry interactions, or both.
