PASSAGE®/DEM  -  DISCRETE ELEMENT MODELING
Features PASSAGE®/DEM software is for predicting the flow particles under a wide variety of forces. 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. Available on PC based workstations.
Benefits
PASSAGE®/DEM software can 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. Technalysis offers customization of PASSAGE®/DEM software to meet specific customer needs.
