Explore the benefit of particle simulations with the Discrete Element Method (DEM)
A definition in advance:
Bulk materials include all solid bodies that move together in large numbers. This includes rocks and abrasives, as well as tablets, pens or beverage bottles.
DEM simulation consulting
and
identification of potentials
By using the Discrete Element Method, problems with bulk materials can be solved today in all conceivable industries and areas. This hasn’t been possible until now.
Thereby, it makes no difference in which shape and size the bulk material is exisiting or which material it consists of. With the help of DEM, fibrous systems such as filters or brushes, as well as the interaction of bulk materials with liquids, can be modeled.

Analysis of bulk materials
A simulation is always as good as the boundary conditions and assumptions on which it is based. A reliable statement of the simulation can only be achieved if the modeled bulk material has been analyzed beforehand and the modeling is carried out accordingly. For this purpose, we offer comprehensive solutions for your specific problem.

Validation of simulations
In addition to the analysis of bulk materials, a one-time comparison with real measured data is usually necessary to ensure that the results of the simulation are plausible. Once this has been done, the simulation can be considered generally applicable.
We offer validation of simulations based on your easily ascertainable machine data and process information. For high quantitative requirements on the simulation, we further offer validation procedures tailored to the individual case, using measurement technology that cannot be purchased commercially.

Analysis and optimization of processes of machines
Particle systems in particular are difficult to investigate using measurement technology, since there are very few or only very complex measurement solutions for measuring velocities, pressures, or the degree of mixing. Variables of this type are of relevance to the process in a large number of different systems.
The analysis by means of the Discrete Element Method offers the possibility to gain a completely new understanding of your processes and machines in order to achieve efficiency increases and consequently cost reductions. Simulation cases with millions of particles can be easily computed on our high performance computing system.
Succesfully implemented case studies can be found in our case studies.

Support in simulation projects
The realization of scientific and development projects goes along with great challenges, especially when using latest simulation methods such as the Discrete Element Method. In order to face these challenges an appropriate methodology and experience are required.
Through project support you can benefit from our years of experience in the field of DEM simulations and therefore achieve the best possible results for your project.

Do you have multi-physics problems of bulk materials in gases/fluids?
Real processes often cannot be represented by one simulation discipline alone. For this reason, we offer coupled simulations in addition to pure discrete element simulations. Hereby, the interactions between gases or fluids and bulk material can be simulated realistically. We are focused on CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) and SPH (Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics).
Furthermore, we offer the simulation of pure gas and fluid systems. Depending on the problem, we can use the appropriate simulation method on a case-by-case basis.
For the practical realization of these multi-physical simulation, we perform our calculations on our own high-preformance computing systems. In doing so, we do not exlusively focus in highest performance, but rather on the best price-performance ratio in order to be able to offer the simulations in an economically reasonable way.
