About
Altair EDEM is the market-leading and most validated Discrete Element Method (DEM) software for bulk and granular material simulation. It is used by blue-chip companies around the world to optimize equipment design, increase productivity, reduce costs of operations, shorten product development cycles and drive product innovation.
First introduced to the market in 2006, EDEM is used for virtual testing of equipment design in the mining, construction, off-highway and agricultural machinery industries, as well as in the off-road mobility, mining and mineral processing, steel making and process manufacturing sectors.
EDEM provides engineers with crucial insight into how materials such as coal, mined ores, soils, fibers, grains, tablets, powders interact with equipment during a range of operation and process conditions. It can be used stand-alone or combined with other CAE Altair solutions, and third-party software for FEA, MBD, CFD and AI.
