Move & Measurement Tools in EDEM

Junta_20361

Hello expert,

I'm learning using EDEM.

This seems weird but i couldn't find any tools for measuring (lenght, angle,..) or taking the coordinate of specific locations in the model?

It is very inconvenience for user.

Is there any tools like that in EDEM?

Thank you!

Hi, in the EDEM Analyst under the Analyst Tree there is the option for Tools which contains Ruler, Protractor and Domain Grid. You can use the ruler to measure distance between particles or geometry elements.

In File > Export > Results Data you can export coordinates (node positions) for geometries or particle positions to .csv format.

Also for more advanced analysis you can use Python which gives you access to all the model analysis via EDEMpy. For example if you copy the examples folder from your EDEM install location in Program Files > ... /EDEM 2020 to a processing folder then go to Examples > Calibration Kits > Dynamic angle of repose test this contains documentation and examples of obtaining angle of repose of the material via EDEMpy.

hi Stephen,

Thanks for your answer.

Very nice, i can use it now.

However, i still think it should be placed on the toolbars like other softwares.
Sometimes, i need to use it while working with EDEM creator and moving to Analyst is quite inconvenience.

Anyway, thanks!
