Enter the world of granular material simulation! This virtual conference covers the applications of the Discrete Element Method (DEM) and Altair EDEM software in a range of industries, from heavy equipment and off-road to mining, steelmaking, and process manufacturing. Hear from industry leaders and academic experts worldwide on how they use DEM technology to optimize equipment and processes.
Below is a collection of presentations from the ATCx DEM Virtual Event that took place in November 2020.
DEM modeling of particulate processes – from conceptualization to industrial application
Prof. Jin Ooi
