Meta-particle for intra-particle coating variation detection

Hi 

I'm simulating the coating process of a spherical particle and one of my objectives is to measure and verify the intra-particle coating distribution using EDEM. 

I'm wondering whether it's possible to get the coating variation among a particle by creating a Meta-particle instead of a single particle and then implementing the Spray-coating API.

How the coating-code will calculate the forces and contact model for the created Meta-particles, is it as a single element or calculate for each sphere in the meta-particle shape?

Thank You

Best Regards

SALMA

    Hi Salma Hassan

    Currently, I have the same question as yours. I am wondering whether you have found the answer or not. If you do not mind could you please share me some hints?

    Hi Trung,

    Actually not yet!

    But as the Altair team has advised me -Polyhedral Particles- would solve the Intra-particle coating code, which will be released in the next EDEM version 2022.3.
