Transfer-point DEM modeling for the engineering workflow you already know.
Chute Maven Classic preserves the original Chute Maven approach: draw the chute, belt, and load point in AutoCAD, import the DXF, run the material-flow model, and review the results in a focused Windows desktop application.
The current Classic release updates the proven workflow with a faster engine, a cleaner licensing path, and monthly subscription management through Stripe.
DXF-first setup
Bring in chute, belt, pulley, and injection-point geometry from AutoCAD DXF files.
Practical DEM review
Study flow behavior, particle motion, velocities, and boundary forces for transfer-point design decisions.
Classic Windows release
Install the current Windows package and activate with a Maven Software license key.
Built for transfer chutes
Chute Maven is intentionally focused on conveyor transfer-point modeling. The workflow is narrow, understandable, and built around the engineering questions that matter during chute design.
- US units or metric units
- Multiple injection locations
- Particle size, density, friction, and restitution inputs
- AVI video and bitmap output for review
