Discrete Element Modeling Software - PASSAGE^®/DEM Software

PASSAGE Discrete Element Method (DEM) Software  is for predicting the flow particles under a wide variety of forces. It can be used alone or together with our PASSAGE/FLOW Software.

Features:

Some features of Passage Discrete Element Method Software:

• Equations of motion are solved for translation and rotation of individual particles traveling in electrostatic, magnetic, or gravitational fields.
• The size of the particles can be in the order of microns or larger.  All appropriate forces are included in the formulation.
• The particles can be of different shape and size with a given distributions.
• The particles can carry charge.  Individual charging of particles are calculated.
• Different properties of the particles such as charge, temperature, etc. can be predicted by tracking the motion of each particle.
• Different types of boundary surfaces can be modeled whether they are stationary or moving.
• A user-friendly pre- and post-processor is provided to input the geometry of the boundaries and the particles, as well as the display of motion and other properties of the particles.
• Structural deformations of rollers, belts driving the particles are also included in the models.
• Runs on PC-based Workstations.

Some Application Areas

• Computers Printers
• Pharmaceutical
• Food processing
• Material processing
• Mixing problems
• Custom software

Benefits

• Minimize the cost and time of traditional prototype building and testing, thus shortening product design cycles
• Designs can be analyzed and modified on the computer before expensive and time consuming design decisions are finalized.
