Simple and Efficient Modelling of Powders with the EDEM Powders Database

Material model calibration is a fundamental component of the DEM modelling methodology, but the commonly adopted trial-and-error calibration approach is often time and resource intensive and may require advanced technical expertise. This is particularly true when modelling powders because the calibration of advanced physics models is required to capture their complex mechanical behaviour.  In this context, extensive material model databases can minimise the challenges and resource requirements of calibration by making thousands of pre-calibrated and physically accurate models directly available to the user. In this talk we discuss how EDEM is bringing these benefits to the discrete element modelling of powders by releasing the world’s first commercially available powder material model database.
