Edits in creator not found in simulator/analyst

I am following the EDEM heat transfer tutorial. For the first run everything works fine but when I modify something in the creator (for example number of plastic balls) and compute the simulation again the changes don't follow. It just runs the first simulation again. What am I doing wrong?

Hi,

When you change a value in EDEM it takes place from the point in time the change is made. So if you run a simulation to 10 s then change a value, that change applies from 10 s onwards.

If you rewind a simulation any changes made after t=0 are not applied, so if you want to apply the changes rewind to the start and make the updates from there, then they should apply.

Stephen
