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.
