EDEM Motion control

Good morning,

 

I was wondering if there was a way to implement more controlled motion of geometries into EDEM. For example add a sensor at a specific location, and when a particle passes through it, a specific time later a geometry starts moving. So the motion is triggered by a sensor rather than a specific timestep.

 

Best,

Matthias

    Hi Matthias,

    The capability that you're looking for is not capable by EDEM alone but using EDEM+ MotionSolve+ Activate is capable to do the requirement.

     

    Thanks,

    Thank you Prasad!

     

    Are there any tutorials available on the combined use of these? What I am looking to do is move a conveyor horizontally, based on the position of a meta particle on a previous section, to allign the meta-particle in the center

    Regards,

    Tutorials are available with the help of Activate.

    I don't think you can get the exact you're requirement as a tutorial rather you can understand the functionality from Activate and finetune the model to you're requirement

    Hello Matthias,

    Please have a look at this example:

    Optimization of Bulk Handling Control System using Sensor Force Feedback with Altair EDEM, Inspire, and MotionSolve Co-simulation

    There are example files available and a YouTube video that walks you through the entire workflow.  I suspect that you will be able to modify the demonstrated workflow to achieve the result you are after. If not please let us know.
