Enter the World of Granular Material Simulation!
Do you design equipment intended to handle rocks, soils, grains or ores? Or perhaps you are dealing with processes involving powders, tablets and other granular materials?
This virtual conference will cover applications of the Discrete Element Method (DEM) in a range of industries, from heavy equipment and off-road to mining, steelmaking and process manufacturing, and include presentations from industry leaders and academic experts. Attendees will also learn about the latest capabilities and enhancements of Altair EDEM software, as well as best practices from our team of experts.
Join this virtual conference running over 2 half-days and learn:
- how DEM can be applied in various industries to optimize equipment and processes
- how leading companies worldwide benefit from this simulation technique
- how to get the best out of EDEM software: calibration techniques, key capabilities, CAE integration and new developments
Whether you are considering using the Discrete Element Method or already a user of EDEM software, don’t miss out on our great line-up of speakers!
Hear from CLAAS, CNH, ArcelorMittal, Pratt Miller, Paul Wurth, Astec Industries, and many more!
