Altair EDEM

What is Altair EDEM™?

Altair EDEM™ is a Discrete Element Modeling (DEM) software that enables users to simulate and analyse the behaviour of bulk materials with high precision.

From coal and ores to grains, powders, and fibres, EDEM provides accurate insight into how materials interact with equipment during operation.

This powerful tool allows engineers to predict bulk material flow, understand particle forces, and optimise equipment design before physical testing.

EDEM is used in a range of industries, including mining, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and consumer goods, enabling users to improve efficiency, minimise risk, and reduce development costs.

CAE Integration

Seamlessly integrate EDEM with FEA, CFD, and MBD tools for comprehensive system analysis. Couple EDEM with structural and system dynamics tools to ensure accurate simulation of material loads. This powerful integration allows users to simulate real-world particle behaviour and reduce the reliance on costly physical prototypes.

Altair EDEM Simulate Any Material

Simulate Any Material

Altair EDEM™ makes it easy to simulate real-world materials, from large boulders and fine powders to grains, fibres, and tablets. With trusted multi-sphere and polyhedral particle solvers, users can model and analyse a diverse range of particle behaviours, enabling more accurate results for any bulk material process.
