Hello everyone,

 

I am trying to use EDEMpy for post processing. I have used CAD and created a geometry bin and imported the geometry bin into EDEM Analyst. I want to know how I can use EDEMpy to extract information about the geometry bin. For example, how to read the total mass of particles that exists inside a geometry bin in a given timesteps. 

 

Also, Is there a way to import a CAD file as a geometry bin using EDEMpy? 

 

Thank you

    Hi Amir

     

    At the moment EDEMpy only supports the built-in BoxBin and CylinderBin. You can create and use those to perform and automate any kind of analysis you want.

    To learn how to use a CylinderBin to read the total mass of particles inside a geometry you can read this EDEMpy tutorial in which you'll find a EDEMpy script that does exactly what you want

     

    Best regards,

    Renan

    Hi Amir,

    I thought that it may be useful to add for awareness, in addition to what Renan covered that it is also possible to obtain the total mass of particles in the geometry bin or other information without using EDEMpy. So if this is your final objective, there is an alternative way to obtain these results, or you could use it to compare and make sure that the EDEMpy and EDEM bin results match.

    Kind regards
