DEM Simulation

We provide high-accuracy particle simulations, including surface wear, advanced breakage modelling, multi-body dynamics and different particle shape simulation.

What is DEM Simulation?

DEM simulation, or Discrete Element Method simulation, is a computational technique used to model the behavior of granular materials, powders, and other particulate systems by simulating the interactions between individual particles.

Applications of DEM Simulation

Bulk Material Flow

Predicting how granular materials flow, pack, and behave in various processes.

Equipment Design

Optimizing the design of equipment that handles granular materials, such as conveyors, mixers, and crushers

Process Optimization

Improving the efficiency and quality of processes involving granular materials.

Material Behavior

Understanding the mechanical properties and behavior of granular materials under different conditions.

Applications in industries

Discrete Element Method (DEM) simulations find applications in industries dealing with granular materials, including mining, pharmaceutical, food processing, civil engineering, and agriculture, to optimize material flow, mixing, and other processes.
