Tutorial Overview

This tutorial outlines the importance of calibration of the materials and uses the results from the EDEM Tutorial 10.

• Calibration of the materials
• Hertz-Mindlin with JKR contact model to account for cohesive nature of the materials
• Simulations in a batch mode
• Comparison of simulations with calibrated and non-calibrated material models
• Creation of selections (Geometry Bins) to analyze material build-up
• Creation of graph, images and videos
