Still stuck on EDEM–MotionSolve coupling — need help understanding full setup!

I’ve been trying to follow the official tutorial videos and documentation to set up a co-simulation between Altair EDEM and MotionSolve, but I’m still confused about some key parts.

For example:

How exactly do you export geometries from MotionView so they show up correctly in EDEM?
Do I need to manually set the export/import paths in the coupling settings, or should it auto-link?
How do you map Motion Parts from EDEM to MotionSolve bodies correctly?
What’s the correct order to launch both solvers? Should EDEM be waiting before MotionSolve starts?
Do I need to modify any .xml or .dll paths manually?

If anyone has a clear step-by-step guide or has run into similar issues and solved them, I’d really appreciate your input. Even a short screen recording would help a lot!

Thanks in advance 🙏

Hello @Armstrong,

There is an eLearning in the Altair learning hub showing the Motionsolve-EDEM coupling process and how to analyse the results. Do check it out.
EDEM - Coupling with MotionSolve

Hope this helps answering your queries

Thank you very much for the suggestion!

I just checked out the eLearning material you mentioned — it was exactly what I needed. The explanation of the MotionSolve–EDEM coupling process and result interpretation was clear and helped solidify my understanding. It really clarified the workflow and confirmed that I'm on the right track.

Appreciate your support!
