Powder and granular flow simulation
Particleworks is a CAE software for the simulation of liquid flows based on the Moving Particle Simulation method (MPS).
Granuleworks is a Discrete Element Method software (DEM) that allows simulating granular flow and powder by solving Newton’s Equation of motion.
Granuleworks calculates the translation and rotation of each solid particle considering contact, friction, slip and adhesive forces between particles.
Granuleworks is widely used for evaluating manufacturing processes that handle powders in the field of food, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, transport equipment, mining and electronic materials and for design and improvement of powder processing and equipment.
Granuleworks can simulate powder mixing, conveying, storage, filling, compression molding, slurry, granulation, etc.
