Altair EDEM 2025.0 Win x64 English

EDEM 2024 Release Notes
New features and enhancements available in EDEM.
Volume Packing
Volume Packing has major updates to improve usability and functionality such as the ability to set Total Mass instead of Solid Fraction, cancel Volume Packing before completion with particles being retained, and so on.
Fibers Bonding Model
The Fibers Bonding model has been introduced specifically for the modeling of fibers. It accurately handles the stiffness of cylindrical-section, curved and heterogeneous fibers.
Liquid Bridge Model
The Liquid Bridge Model introduces a cohesive force between two particles (or between one particle and a Geometry) when particles are wet.
Linear Elastic Bonding Model
The Linear Elastic Bonding model has been updated with the Preserve Contact functionality to the API. Bonds can now extend beyond the contact radius and will break only once the specified force is reached.
Bugs
EDEM 2025 contains fixes for the following issues:
- Exporting geometry data to STL could give incorrect values in a number of scenarios, export performance has also been improved.
- Large logo scaling values could cause EDEM to crash.
- See #20478
- Deleting particles in the creator could cause EDEM to crash.
- Geometries with an attached volume packing factory that were copied would take incorrect settings.
- OpenGL features missing error would be shown for OpenGL versions between 2.1 and 4.0.
- Repeatedly accessing the API model parameter dialog could cause EDEM to crash if Cancel button was used to close the dialog.

EDEMis high-performance software for bulk and granular material simulation. Powered by state-of-the-art Discrete Element Modeling (DEM) technology, EDEM quickly and accurately simulates and analyzes the behavior of granular materials such as coal, mined ores, soils, fibers, grains, tablets, and powders. EDEM simulation provides engineers with crucial insight into how those materials will interact with their equipment during a range of operation and process conditions. EDEM is used for virtual testing of equipment that handles or processes bulk materials in the mining, equipment manufacturing and process industries. Companies worldwide use EDEM to optimize equipment design, increase productivity, reduce operational costs, shorten product development cycles and drive product innovation.
