Altair EDEM Professional – Discrete Element Modeling Software for Bulk Materials

Altair EDEM Professional Overview

Altair EDEM Professional – Discrete Element Method (DEM) simulation is transforming the business of designing and optimizing equipment for the handling and processing of bulk materials.
When used properly, DEM simulation gives you key design information on bulk solid material flow behavior that is very difficult, or even impossible to get using standard test methods or other methods of engineering simulation.
EDEM® is high-performance commercially available DEM simulation software capable of generating the powerful DEM simulations and analysis required to solve complex problems in the design, prototyping, and optimization of equipment that handles and processes bulk solid materials–across a wide range of industry sectors.
