EDEM API - Frictional Heat
Overview The 'Frictional Heat' API introduces frictional heat effects into your DEM particles within your EDEM simulation. This API calculates the heat generated due to friction and allocates equal heat flux to the interacting elements. An example is also attached that shows the usage of the API. Prerequisite: EDEM 2025.1…
