EDEM Cal is a utility which works with EDEM and is designed to assist in performing calibration.
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.

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.

To submit a job:

In the EDEM Cal page, click Submit Job and specify the following details:


For	Specify
Job Save Location	Indicates the computer location used to generate all the decks and the necessary files required to run the simulations. This can be written or pasted into the box or selected using Windows Explorer. To navigate to the file in Windows Explorer, click the ... icon, and select the folder to populate the box with the path to the that folder. Click Generate Job Specification. This will generate all of the decks in appropriate folders as well as the Job Specification. The Job Specification provides a summary of the parameters varied and simulator settings.
Job Load Location	The Load Job Location is used to recover the previously generated job specifications. To navigate to the file using Windows Explorer, click the ... icon and navigate to the folder and click Select folder. The path to that folder is populated. Once the folder is populated, click Load Job Specification.
Execution Options	The following two options are available for running simulations: Generate files and Simulate Locally All decks are made as per the job specification, and a batch file to run each one is generated. Number of Concurrent simulations Specify the number of simulations you want running at the same time mad then click Start Simulating. Generate Files for Distributed Simulation All decks are made as per the job specification. A batch file is generated to run each simulation, but options to run locally are disabled. This is intended for use in simulations that will be run for example, on a Linux cluster.
Ongoing Simulations	When simulations are running, icons indicating that the simulations that are running, finished, failed, or queued are displayed. Clicking the icons that indicate completed or failed will display the console log for that simulation in the Inspector box.
