A brief writeup of the talk and the EDEM tool is given below. A flyer regarding the same is also attached with the mail. EDEM presentation (*one hour duration*) would highlight the following topics: 1. Introduction to Caezen Technologies (India) and DEM Solutions Ltd (UK). {5 mins} 2. Discrete Element Methods – technology position and value {5 mins} 3. Capabilities of EDEM Software – the global leader in general purpose DEM simulations {15 mins} 4. Application of EDEM in industries with case studies. {20 mins} *Chemical Process* *Pharma* *Minerals Processing & Earth Moving* *Power Generation* *Printing* ** 1. Q & A with general discussions {10 mins} 2. Concluding Remarks and the Next Steps {5 mins} *Presenters : Hari Doss Director Caezen Technologies & Mohan Nainegali EDEM Product Manager CAEZEN Technologies* *A brief write-up about EDEM:* EDEM has industry leading technology for simulation of flow of granular materials and powders. EDEM can be useful to better understand the physics involved in such flows both in the upstream and downstream* *material handling and manufacturing processes including* **bulk solid flows * solids mixing solids coating applications and interactions of particles of different shapes and sizes. There are *over 100* companies research organizations and universities using EDEM around the world today. These customers span a wide range of industries including Mining Materials Handling Agriculture Pharmaceuticals Consumer Goods Electronics and energy.Some of the key differentiators of the product are as below: 1. EDEM is a *D*iscrete *E*lement *M*odeling (DEM) software used to*mathematically model analyze and visualize * particulate solids handling and processing operations. I.e. it is a * complete* particle simulation tool. 2. The product is used worldwide for the product *development and optimization of engineered products* including conveyor systems chutes hoppers silos reactor vessels mills buckets screws digger buckets and other similar equipment used in the area of handling granular materials. 3. The software provides *high resolution information* on particle kinematics momentum heat and transfer wear analysis particle-particle and particle-geometry interactions. It can also account the *stickiness*of the particle there by increases the engineering efficiency. 4. The tool help *improves product design and reduce the risks** of problems* when the equipment is fielded. 5. *Realistic Particle shape* and size distribution. The tool allows you to model the exact shape of the particle i.e. not restricting ourselves to sphere. Shape of the particle can be modelled within or imported from other CAD packages. 6. The tool also has *electrostatics module* where the particles carrying the charge can be simulated. 7. EDEM integrates with other *C*omputer *A*ided *D*esign and *E*ngineering tools (CAD and CAE) allowing engineers to apply DEM as *an integral component* of their design and analysis toolkit. 8. As mentioned above EDEM can be coupled with *FLUENT* on *CFD* front and *MSC.ADAMS** *and *MSC.Easy5** *on Dynamics Coupling for Geometry response and Control Systems. 9. The product comes with built-in contact models (i.e. physics) and further allows the user to write their own contact models making it more flexible CAE tool for DEM research oriented work.
