• Quickly and easily import chute, belt and injection point geometry from an AutoCAD DXF file.
  • Complicated 3D surfaces can be modeled using AutoCAD's 3D Face, 3D Mesh, Edge, Tabulated Surface, Revolved Surface, Ruled Surface and Edge Surface commands.
  • Work in either US units (inches) or international units (millimeters).
  • Velocities automatically assigned to belt surfaces.
  • Boundaries can be turned on and off during the simulation.
  • Maximum and minimum particle diameter, particle density, contact friction, contact restitution and the percentage of particles allowed to rotate (from 0-100%) are easily defined.
  • The time starts and stops for material injection are defined.
  • Unlimited number of injection locations.
  • An estimated simulation completion time is continuously.
  • Three-dimensional review of the results in a professional viewer. Step through the results one frame at a time or in 1 second intervals.
  • Pan, Rotate, and Zoom the model in 3-dimensions.
  • Create videos (AVIs) of the material flow and capture bitmap images from any vantage point.
  • Output particle positions, speeds, and average forces acting on each boundary for any frame. Saves the maximum speeds, kinetic energy, and potential energy.
  • Create a restart file from any point in the simulation to “seed” the next design iteration.
