Description

Simcenter EDEM is an advanced tool utilizing the Discrete Element Method to simulate bulk materials and particles, providing engineers with essential insights into the interactions of granular substances with handling equipment under various operational and processing scenarios. It effectively models and evaluates the dynamics of materials such as coal, minerals, soils, fibers, grains, tablets, powders, rocks, and crops. With a wide array of pre-existing, calibrated material model libraries for rocks, ores, soils, and powders, users can quickly begin their simulations, while the validated physics models accommodate a variety of material behaviors, including dry, sticky, and compressible types. Furthermore, Simcenter EDEM excels at simulating intricate, large-scale particle systems that can consist of millions of particles, offering rapid and scalable computing capabilities on CPU, GPU, and multi-GPU configurations. This versatility makes it an invaluable resource for engineers seeking to optimize the handling and processing of granular materials across diverse industries.

Description

Simcenter Simsolid is a structural simulation solution from Siemens built to speed up analysis by eliminating geometry cleanup and meshing. It allows engineers and designers to work directly with fully featured CAD assemblies, helping them validate designs earlier in the development process. The software is designed for complex parts and large assemblies, including models that may include gaps, overlaps, or rough contact surfaces. By delivering results in seconds to minutes on a standard PC, Simcenter Simsolid makes it easier to evaluate multiple design scenarios quickly. It supports many analysis methods, including linear statics, nonlinear statics, thermal studies, modal analysis, fatigue, thermal stress, buckling, composites, and random response. The platform also includes an extensive library of contacts, bolts, welds, rivets, adhesives, joints, bushings, and material types. Engineers can apply a wide variety of boundary conditions such as forces, pressure, gravity, thermal loads, inertia relief, hydrostatic loads, and remote loads. Simcenter Simsolid works with major CAD and PLM formats, including CATIA, NX, Creo, Inventor, Fusion 360, SOLIDWORKS, JT, STEP, Parasolid, and more. Its visualization tools help users review stress, strain, displacement, safety factors, mode shapes, modal frequencies, and other key structural results.
