DEM Solutions, a professional developer of Discrete Element Method (DEM) software, has released EDEM 2018, the latest version of its leading software. EDEM 2018 focuses on productivity and performance, and includes a variety of new features and enhancements to help you work faster, including setup, simulation processing and analysis. There are 4 major themes as follows.
[Learn more about the introduction >> 'More particles…faster with EDEM 2018']
- Setting-up Simulations – New Tools
- Increased Performance & Accuracy
- Enhanced Post-processing
- CAE Integration – new coupling solutions : "EDEM partners with leading CAE companies including ANSYS, MSC Software and Siemens PLM Software to offer a range of co-simulation solutions with Finite Element Analysis (FEA), Multi-body Dynamics (MBD) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) tools. New partnerships with Simulia and FunctionBay now enable the coupling of EDEM with Abaqus and RecurDyn. This means users can transfer realistic bulk material loads from EDEM to their FEA and MBD tool of choice, resulting in greater insight into equipment performance."
Particularly, DEM Solutions has announced an integrated analysis solution with RecurDyn, leading multi-body dynamics software, as one of the key themes of this latest release. In 2016, DEM Solutions' CRO, Ian Williamson commented on the merits of the integrated analysis of RecurDyn and EDEM in heavy-duty engineering design and he also said that EDEM was working on a development for co-simulation.

Let's take a closer look at the co-simulation of between RecurDyn and EDEM.
RecurDyn V9R1, released in October 2017, provides an interface for co-simulation with EDEM. More accurate results on the loads acting on the dynamics system due to particle behavior and particle behavior due to the dynamics system can be obtained by exchanging data between the particle dynamics solver of EDEM and the powerful MBD (Multi-Body Dynamics) solver of RecurDyn.
This allows the simulations of ranges containing a variety of physical phenomena that affect particle behavior occurring in a real industrial field. In addition, both RecurDyn and EDEM provide a user-friendly UI environment for easier and faster particle analysis and co-simulation of dynamic behavior of rigid body systems.
