Modelling Pneumatic Hopper Discharge of Fine Bulk Solids with the Simcenter EDEM-Simcenter Acusolve Coupling

by
modelling-pneumatic-hopper-discharge-simcenter-edem-acusolve

Pneumatic conveying is widely used to transport bulk solids in industrial manufacturing processes because it offers a safe, flexible, and automation-friendly method of material handling. Even so, systems of this kind can still face issues such as plug flow, agglomeration, and blockages. These challenges often reduce process control, increase maintenance demands, and negatively affect product … Read more

How VR Steel Reduced Truck Load Body Costs with Altair EDEM

by
Simutron Customer Story Featured Image

Mining load bodies operate under extreme conditions. Every reduction in mass can lower fuel consumption and operating costs, but structural integrity must remain uncompromised. Redesigning heavy-duty equipment is never simply about making it lighter — it must perform reliably under constant loading, abrasive materials, and demanding site conditions. VR Steel (Pty) Ltd needed to validate … Read more

topology optimization in Altair Inspire

Optimization capabilities within Inspire Structure – Altair Inspire Creating a feasible design to meet the requirements of a project is only half of the struggle. Just because a design is feasible (it conforms to the specifications) does not imply that it is an optimal design. Optimal designs conform to the specifications whilst having the best … Read more

Material model calibration techniques in EDEM – Altair EDEM

by
1e51805b1b62e450c4dfdbd9dc4bcbad

Material model calibration techniques in EDEM – Altair EDEM Discrete element simulations are dictated by the bulk material model, particle geometry, and the contact models used in the simulation pre-processing stage. Within Altair EDEM we start by defining the bulk material properties and contact models. These can be determined using manual calibration, the GEMM database, … Read more

Automatic identification and definition of bolted contacts – Altair SimSolid™

by
SimSolid 1 1

Automatic identification and definition of bolted contacts Altair SimSolid™ Performing simulations on complex assemblies is an arduous task as the connection between each part interface must be defined. Certain simulation packages can identify part interfaces and automatically create a bonded contact definition at each of these interface locations. Bonded contact areas are treated as if … Read more
