Why can’t I enter my own material data in EDEM?

Hello,

I am trying to create a custom bulk material in EDEM, but the program does not allow me to enter my own parameters. I can only select from the predefined materials. How can I enable manual input of my material properties? Is there a specific setting or step I am missing?

Hi @Jokubas_Pil,

I'm sorry you are having trouble with creating a bulk material.

When you create a new bulk material, are you saying that the options for Poisson's Ratio, Density, and Shear Modulus are unavailable?

Hope this helps!

Good morning @Jokubas_Pil ,

Apologies that you are having to face this problem. Are you using EDEM 2025.1? If you are, I believe that this is likely linked to a small issue that we are aware of with the language packages that use comas to set the decimal place. As a work around currently you try using a "." instead of a "," to set-up your values? Hopefully this works.

In a week or two there should be an updated installer in the market-place that fixes this.

Apologies for the inconvenience and please let us know if this does not resolve it.

Kind regards

Ignacio

It also doesn't help… Sorry that I didn't answer earlier.
