About Course
This online course provides a comprehensive training to the principles and techniques of DEM simulation. It covers the fundamentals of DEM theory, including the underlying mathematics, equations, and algorithms. It also covers the software tools used to create and run DEM simulations, as well as the visualization and post–processing of the results. After taking this course, students will be familiar with the fundamentals of DEM simulation and be able to create, run, and interpret the results of DEM simulations.
DEM (Discrete Element Method) Simulation is a numerical technique used to model the behavior of a granular material, such as sand, gravel, or soil. It is a computer–based technique that uses a large number of small particles to simulate the behavior of the material and predict its response to various external stimuli, such as impacts, vibrations, and loading. DEM simulations are used to analyze the behavior of materials in a wide variety of engineering applications, such as mining, civil engineering, and manufacturing.
This prerecorded video training provides an in–depth look at DEM simulations. It covers everything from the basics of the technology, to the more advanced concepts involved in creating and running simulations. The training is taught by experienced professionals who have been working with DEM simulations for years. It is designed to give an understanding of the underlying principles and techniques used in the simulations. The course material is comprehensive, with detailed explanations of the concepts, as well as step–by–step instructions on how to set up and run simulations. The video training also includes several examples to illustrate the concepts and techniques discussed. This training is ideal for those who are new to DEM simulations, as well as those who are experienced users looking to take their skills to the next level.
The training also covers the DEM software “Liggghts 3.8.0 public” and post processing software Paraview. Liggghts is a powerful and versatile tool for simulating particle–based systems. Liggghts provides a wide range of features for the simulation of particle motion, interactions and contact behaviors, such as granular media, fluids, and solids. It also offers a range of postprocessing options, including visualization and analysis of results. Paraview is a powerful open–source scientific visualization application, allowing users to explore and analyze numerical data in an interactive 3D environment. It provides a wide range of tools for visualizing, analyzing, and transforming scientific data, and it is an excellent tool for both postprocessing and presenting results.
