What's New

This section describes the key features in EDEM version 2025.1.

Collisional Energy Tracking Model

The Collisional Energy Tracking model is a new contact model that allows tracking of the energy dissipated in collisions during a simulation. The model records data for dissipated energy in a similar manner to the Track Collisions option that is already available in the Simulator. However, only this model is compatible with both CPU and GPU simulations. The output of the model is stored in three custom counter properties that keep track of collision counts and energy losses for both Particle-Particle and Particle-Geometry collisions.

GranuTools Calibration Kits

The EDEM Calibration Kits now include Digital Twins of the popular GranuHeap and GranuDrum powder flowability characterization testers by GranuTools. Developed in collaboration with the GranuTools team, you can run EDEM simulations of the standard test methods of the instruments out-of-the-box and automatically obtain the standard test results using the same image analysis methodology employed for the physical measurements.
