Expert Insights: Materials Calibration for DEM modelling of Bulk Solids

This post summarises our recent live panel discussion on materials calibration for discrete element method (DEM) modelling of bulk solids where we had the privilege of hosting industry leaders Daniel Grasser, Consulting Engineer at Tundra Bulk Solids and Richard Elliott, Technical Director – Bulk Handling at Rockfield Technologies. They were joined by DEM specialists from LEAP: Angelo Christakakis, Application Engineer & Technical Lead – DEM as well as Josh Hately, Engineering Solutions Manager, who moderated the discussion.

Rocky DEM for Transfer Chutes, Conveyors and Bulk Materials Handling

LEAP recently ran a webinar that explored how Rocky DEM is helping engineers and equipment designers around Australia to easily troubleshoot existing issues and optimise their designs to avoid chute blockages due to wet/cohesive materials, improve longevity of wear liners and better configure chute flow to reduce belt misalignment and tracking issues.

This article summarises this presentation and includes video highlights including demonstrations of how Rocky DEM simulations help designers assess the overall performance of bulk materials handling systems.
