please i would like to know the difference between archard wear and archard intermediate data

I am a student at Central South University, and I am studying the material removal mechanisms in the barrel finishing process. The first issue I am encountering is that the amount of material removed, using Archard's wear results, is too high. However, the results from Archard's intermediate data seem satisfactory. I would like to understand the difference between the two.
I would also like to know if it is possible to couple Eden with software like Abaqus to calculate residual stresses and the topographical surface of the part. If not, is it possible to couple it with another software for the same purpose?

Thank you.

Hi Ardain,

The Archard Intermediate Data is used only when the Enable Deformation option is turned and only to determine how much to deform the geometry from one timestep to next. To get the geometry deformation throughout the simulation use the Archard Wear property.

Unfortunately we no longer support the EDEM-Abaqus coupling. You can export particle, geometry and contact forces and positions and import to Abaqus manually, or look at using the Analyst > Export > Hypermesh data export.

We have examples with EDEM-SimSolid here:

edem-simsolid-tutorial

and EDEM Hypermesh here:

Or consider the 2-way EDEM-OptiStruct coupling:

Hi,

I try to couple Optistruct with EDEM by using Altair simlab2025, ( for EDEM i'm using Altair EDEM 2023). I follow all the process from the youtube tutorial video but when i run the coupling process the geometry design in Simlab does not appear in EDEM. Also i would like to give the Simlab design a rotary motion but i don't really know how to do it.

actualy the gear in Simlab is soppose to appear in the bool in Altair EDEM but after the coupling i have nothing.

Best Regard

Hi,

Thank you for your previous answer🙏.

I try the last option who is couple Optistruct with Altair EDEM (version 2023) for that i'm using ALtair Simlab 2025. the problem I'm facing now is that the Gear imported in simlab does not appear in Altair EDEM after the coupling and i don't know the raison. Also I would like to give a rotary motion to the Gear but i don't Know if i have to do that in simlab or in EDEM after the coupling.

Best regard,

Ardain.

Hi Ardain,

The EDEM-Optistruct coupling is only available in the 2024.1 or newer versions. It is also a good idea to use the same version of all software (all 2024.1 or all 2025).

Regarding the gear motion, since it was created in simlab it is best to define its motion in simlab
