Discrete Element Method
The term discrete element method (DEM) comprises a family of related mathematical tools for determining the kinematic behavior of finite-sized particles. As defined by Cundall in 1971, DEM allows:
- finite displacement, rotation and separation of elements, and
- new particle contacts are recognized algorithmically as the simulation proceeds.
Come to Terms with Material Flow
At ThyssenKrupp Robins, we wrote the software from scratch. We believe in simulating and testing our vision. If there is material flow, ThyssenKrupp Robins will have a 3D simulation for it.
