EDEM Cal Utility
EDEM Cal is a utility which works with EDEM and is designed to assist in performing calibration.
Load a Deck
The first step in setting up a calibration run is to load in a prototype EDEM deck. The deck should be configured so that they can be executed from the command line.

Welcome
What's New
New features and enhancements available in EDEM.
Release Notes
This document contains information about the EDEM release, such as key features and enhancements, bug fixes, and known issues.
About EDEM
EDEM is a high-performance simulation software for bulk and granular materials.
Get Started with EDEM
The EDEM user interface comprises three icons for each simulation component - Creator, Simulator, and Analyst.
EDEM Creator
EDEM Creator is the pre-processor for creating an EDEM simulation model, including setting up equipment and defining the generation of bulk materials.
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.
- Load a Deck
  The first step in setting up a calibration run is to load in a prototype EDEM deck. The deck should be configured so that they can be executed from the command line.
- Post Processing of Simulations
  EDEM Cal allows automated post processing of simulations based on a pre-configured data query from EDEM Analyst and an EDEMpy script.
- Submit a Job
  EDEM Cal is a Windows-only application that can generate a batch job for Linux. The EDEM Cal utility allows you to submit a job to alternative computers on your network or on the cloud using the input files from EDEM Cal, and all the job-related files such as input, output, and logs are copied back to the EDEM Cal utility once the job is complete.
- Parameter Editor
  The Parameter Editor allows you to modify the parameters once the deck is loaded. The parameters that you can modify are: Particle-Particle interactions, Particle-Geometry interactions, and Physics model parameters and options.
- Analyze Results
  The Results Analysis section of EDEM Cal combines all the results files into a single csv file.
GPU CUDA Guide
The EDEM CUDA GPU module uses the latest General Purpose Computing on Graphical Processing Units (GPU) technology.
Programming Guide
The EDEM Programming Guide describes the EDEM API.
Coupling Interface Programming Guide
The Coupling Interface Programming Guide provides an overview of how to use the EDEM Coupling Interface to couple with a generic CFD code and/or Multi Body dynamics codes.
EDEMpy
EDEMpy is a Python library for accessing EDEM data from .h5 files (the underlying EDEM file format). EDEMpy does not require prior knowledge of advanced programming.
EDEM Solver Capabilities
EDEM contains four solver engines.
Appendix
This section provides additional information about how to estimate simulation time, supported EDEM File types, attribute definitions, and so on.
EDEM Terminology
Definitions of terms used in EDEM.
References and Bibliography
This section cites the contributions made by various authors and sources that have been used as reference material for EDEM, and the specifics of how they have been applied can be found in the individual contact model sections.

Load a Deck

The first step in setting up a calibration run is to load in a prototype EDEM deck. The deck should be configured so that they can be executed from the command line.

To load a deck:

In the Load Deck page, which is the first page in EDEMCal, specify the following details:


For	Specify
Locate deck to use	Specify the path to the EDEM deck. The `.dem` file associated with the EDEM deck must be used for EDEMCal. This can be entered or pasted into the field or located using Windows Explorer by clicking the .... icon to navigate to the deck and selecting Open. This will populate the box with the path to the `.dem` file.
Additional Files	Select any additional files required to run the simulation from the command line. When importing multiple additional files, highlight multiple files using File Explorer and then add the files. Examples of additional files include coupling scripts, preference files, and API `.dll` or `.so` files.

Note: The file name of the deck should not include spaces as they cannot be read as one line in the command prompt. If you want to include a space between words, use the '_' symbol, such as test_deck.dem.
