-
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.
