How long does a simulation take to run in EDEM?
Altair EmployeeSimulation speed will vary depending on a number of factors such as computer hardware, the bulk material properties and also the scale of the system being investigated.
Altair EDEM has a powerful solver that enables fast and efficient simulations. It is highly parallelized for use in multi-core shared memory workstations. EDEM also has GPU and multi-GPU solver engines. Using GPU can deliver simulation results up to 12 times faster than by using traditional desktop CPUs.
You can find a spreadsheet for estimating simulation run time here - https://community.altair.com/csm?id=kb_article&sysparm_article=KB0116101, and there are also ways to improve simulation speed by varying input parameters which is discussed in this blog - https://community.altair.com/community?id=community_blog&sys_id=8fa2ba98dba32410e8863978f4961938&view_source=searchResult
