EDEM Tutorial: Bonded Particles
Introduction
This tutorial describes how to create a simulation that uses EDEMs bonded particle
model. The model also uses custom factories and a particle body force.
(1) (2)
(3) (4)
(1) Solid spheres are created and allowed to settle. (2) The large particles are
replaced with bonded meta-particles. (3) The bonded meta-particles are
damaged in the mill, and (4) eventually breakup.
