Angle of Repose

RWD_PWR_BMW_5

Hello,

Is there an easy way to measure the angle of repose on 2023 Altair EDEM? I believe the easiest way is to pass the powder sample through a funnel and allow it to form a cone on a horizontal surface. Any suggestions for that?

Thank you for your time and consideration

Software: Altair EDEM 2023

Hi,

You can use the EDEM Calibration kit python script to calculate the angle. The article below details the method and links to the Calibration Kits post:
