Being able to predict the loads and forces acting on equipment is the key to optimising equipment performance and durability.<br \/>\nWithout EDEM, design engineers have to rely on \u201crules of thumb\u201d and guesswork for the forces exerted by bulk material. EDEM-MBD co-simulation enables engineers to look at equipment interaction with different types of materials and different maneuvers with a high level of fidelity.\u201d<br \/>\nEDEM simulates the bulk material behaviour and provides a realistic representation of the loads and forces of a wide range of different materials,while the MBD solver controls and produces feedback on the motion of the equipment due to the force and torque imparted by the material. For example, by coupling EDEM and MBD codes, engineers no longer need to estimate how deeply a bucket will penetrate into the ground, or how long a truck body will take to empty, this can now be simulated and incorporated directly into the MBD model.<br \/>\nThe EDEM-MBD solutions make use of the EDEM Coupling Interface \u2013 a programmable interface that enablesbi-directional communication between EDEM and other codes.By regularly exchanging information, the interaction between equipment and material can be more accurately modelled.Testing of design variations is performed virtually and the resulting changes in the material interaction are fed back directly to the model.<br \/>\nThe new capabilitiesrepresent another milestone in 2014 for DEM Solutions as the Company pursues a strategy to make EDEM highly integrated with other CAE tools. DEM Solutions aims to works closely with leading CAE software companies to develop co-simulation solutions.<br \/>\nFurther information on EDEM-MBD co-simulation can be found on the DEM Solutions website. DEM Solutions will also be hosting a number of webinars in early 2015 to introduce each solution. Dates will be announced on the company\u2019s Events Pagein due course.<br \/>\n<strong>About:<\/strong><br \/>\nDEM Solutions is a private company and the market leader in simulation software and services for the design and optimization of bulk particle handling and processing equipment.
