Integration of Altair EDEM with other CAE solutions

Altair EDEM (more details) contains an interface and the necessary functionality for joint finite element modeling (FEA), multibody dynamics (MBD) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD).

Combining Altair EDEM (more details) with other CASE tools expands design capabilities, providing a more integrated and seamless multiphysical modeling capability for engineering analysis.

Altair EDEM and Finite Element Analysis (FEA)

The use of Altair EDEM in combination with the finite element method (FEA) allows manufacturers of equipment for the transportation of bulk materials (loading bucket, unloading trays and truck bodies) to obtain valuable information about how the equipment will work during operation.
The joint use of Altair EDEM with FEA allows you to analyze the strength of the bucket
Altair EDEM (more details) provides design engineers with an accurate understanding of the pressure and forces acting on equipment as a result of exposure to bulk material. By transferring realistic material data to the FEA software, engineers no longer need to rely on manual calculations during the design process, and they can be confident that the project will meet technical requirements.
The joint use of Altair EDEM with FEA allows for the analysis of the fatigue strength of the truck body and subsequent optimization
Integration:

  • Altair EDEM (more details) and Altair OptiStruct (more details)
  • Altair EDEM (more details) and ANSYS
Analysis of the conveyor for bulk materials (grains, granules)
Altair EDEM and modeling the dynamics of multibody behavior (MBD)

Combining Altair EDEM with Multibody Dynamics Simulation (MBD) software allows heavy equipment manufacturers to better understand the interaction of machine and bulk material. The EDEM-MED joint simulation provides an opportunity to simulate and visualize the dynamics of equipment movement and explore how the loads created by bulk materials are distributed throughout the mechanical system.
