Tutorial 2 - Screw Auger

This tutorial describes how to set up and analyze an EDEM simulation.

Objective

The objective of the Screw Auger tutorial is to:
  • Define a domain efficiently to see all the important features in simulation.
  • Analyze particles’ velocities and contact forces.
  • Set up data export queries and using the copy query option.
  • Extract the relevant data to the spreadsheet using Step Factor data export.
  • Create a video of the completed simulation.
The model used in this tutorial is a screw auger, a machine designed to transport material horizontally or up an incline via a rotating screw blade.


Important: You must download the simulation and associated CAD files before starting the tutorial. To download the simulation files for this tutorial, see Download Simulation Files.
