Built for Impact: Mining Equipment Optimization with DEM Simulation

Improve material flow, machine interaction, and durability with simulation-driven design.

Designing heavy equipment for the abrasive, high-impact environments of mining, construction, and road-building requires more than traditional engineering. This on-demand webinar explores how Discrete Element Method (DEM) simulation is transforming equipment development—enabling smarter design decisions, reducing prototyping costs, and accelerating innovation.

In this recording, you’ll discover how DEM Simulation helps to:

• Improve equipment design, performance, and durability.
• Reduce wear, fuel consumption, and operating costs.
• Optimize material flow and machine interaction under real-world conditions.
• Integrate digital twins, AI, and multiphysics for advanced system insights.

You’ll see in action:

• A technology introduction to DEM and its role in heavy equipment design.
• Real-world mining applications: crushers, screening systems, wheel loaders, dump trucks, feeders, chutes, mills, and boring operations.
• Advanced approaches including multiphysics simulations, reduced-order models, and AI-driven optimization. With Altair EDEM, engineers can virtually test and refine equipment against rocks, ores, soils, and aggregates—unlocking insights that drive reliability, efficiency, and faster development cycles.
