This tutorial describes how to set up and analyze an EDEM
simulation.
Objective
The objective of the Screw Auger tutorial is to:
Define a domain efficiently to see all the important features in
simulation.
Analyze particles’ velocities and contact forces.
Set up data export queries and using the copy query option.
Extract the relevant data to the spreadsheet using Step Factor data
export.
Create a video of the completed simulation.
The model used in this tutorial is a screw auger, a machine designed to
transport material horizontally or up an incline via a rotating screw blade.
Important: You must download the simulation
and associated CAD files before starting the tutorial. To download the
simulation files for this tutorial, see Download Simulation
Files.
