Optimizing equipment and processes with granular material simulation

Efficient handling and processing of particulate materials is critical to improving operational efficiency, reducing costs and accelerating product development across process industries. However, physical testing of particulate processes remains time-consuming and expensive, with traditional trial-and-error approaches leading to high costs in materials, labor, equipment usage and waste management.

The Discrete Element Method (DEM) is now widely recognized as a powerful modeling and simulation technology for accurately predicting the behavior of particulate systems—from powders and granules to pellets and bulk solids. DEM enables manufacturers to gain deep insight into particle behavior and optimize critical processes such as mixing, coating, granulation, conveying, filling, compaction, and wear.

Leading global process-industry organizations use Simcenter EDEM™ to improve process efficiency and robustness, enhance product quality, reduce prototyping and scale-up risk, and shorten time to market.
