Is there a database with material properties in Altair EDEM?

Yes, the Generic EDEM Material Model (GEMM) database contains thousands of material models representing a variety of materials like rocks, soils and ores.

The GEMM Database is fully integrated into EDEM which means users can access a range of materials instantly and can fully set up materials for a simulation without being a DEM expert. The GEMM database is now built into EDEM and includes even more material models!

In addition users have access to:

  • Soils starter pack: 8 models of soils including different range of compressibility and stickiness. These models make use of different physics models inbuilt in EDEM to model a range of soils from gravels to soft compressible soils.
  • Powder starter pack:   9 example material models focusing on small particle sizes and representing a range of powder-materials with different flow properties and compressibility.
