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.
