Leveraging DEM with Reduced Order Model for Wheel Loader Design

Jerrin Job Sibychan, Solution Engineer - EDEM at Altair presents at the 2024 ATCx DEM.

This presentation focuses on leveraging DEM combined with Reduced Order Models (ROM) to streamline the design of wheel loaders. By simulating granular material behavior in DEM, engineers can accurately predict the interaction between material and the loader's bucket, improving load performance and reducing wear. The integration of ROM allows for a significant reduction in computational cost and complexity without sacrificing accuracy, enabling faster iterations in the design process. This approach offers a balance between detailed physics-based simulations and efficient computational performance, leading to loader design that meet industry timelines.
