EDEM Simulator
EDEM Simulator is a powerful solver used for fast and efficient simulations.
EDEM Analyst
EDEM Analyst is the post-processor used to analyze and visualize the results of your simulation.
EDEM Contact Models
A Contact Model describes how elements behave when they come into contact with each other.
EDEM Cal Utility
EDEM Cal is a utility which works with EDEM and is designed to assist in performing calibration.
EDEM Calibration Kits
The EDEM Calibration kits are a collection of EDEM models of standard bulk solids characterization tests commonly used for EDEM material model calibration.
GPU CUDA Guide
The EDEM CUDA GPU module uses the latest General Purpose Computing on Graphical Processing Units (GPU) technology.
Programming Guide

Add Equipment Material

You can add Equipment material to a model

To add Equipment material:

Right-click Equipment Material in the Creator Tree and select Add Equipment Material, or use the icon to add the material.
Right-click the new material in the Creator Tree and select Rename Material, or click the icon to rename the material as required.
Specify values for the Poisson's ratio, Solids Density, Shear modulus (or Young’s Modulus), and Work Function (if applicable).
Optionally:
- Right-click the new material in the Creator Tree and select Copy Material, or click the icon to create a duplicate of the currently selected material.
- Right-click the new material in the Creator Tree and select Delete Material, or click the icon to delete the material from a model.
