Software partnership models space dust
DEM Solutions will collaborate with scientists and engineers at NASA's Kennedy Space Center (KSC) to add new modelling capabilities to DEM Solutions' EDEM software
It is implementing EDEM for product development and also for design optimisation of engineered products, including conveyor systems and transfer points.
EDEM is a discrete element modeling package for the simulation, analysis and visualisation of particulate flows.
The software provides high-resolution information on particle kinematics, momentum and heat and mass transfer.
ASGCO was an early adopter of discrete element modeling and has been using it to analyse its transfer chute designs for some time.
"We had simply outgrown the tool we were using", said George Mott, Vice President of Engineering.
"When we saw what DEM Solutions' EDEM was capable of, it was an easy decision to make the switch".
"The investment in EDEM was more than justified to us in accuracy and engineering efficiency".
ASGCO has purchased a perpetual license for EDEM, a further indication of their continued commitment to using DEM Solutions' technology to improve product design.
George Mott, Vice President of Engineering at ASGCO, says: "The benefits of using EDEM include easier problem set-up with CAD import, substantially improved stability, much greater speed, more sophisticated post-processing plus strong customer support from a company that specialises in DEM software".
John Favier, CEO of DEM Solutions, adds: "We are pleased that respected manufacturers like ASGCO Manufacturing are recognising the importance of our software as a tool to improve their product designs and reduce risks of problems when the equipment is fielded".
"Their adoption of the software underlines the strong and growing presence we now have across the globe in the bulk material handling sector".
