This Video shows the particle movement in a rotating drum. The example of the rotating drum can represents the general function of different industrial applications. These apllications includes: Rotary kiln used for the cement production or waste incineration (especially hospital waste) Rotary drum mixer for the blending of different ingredients of a product ( e.g. food production) Rotary tube sieve for the seperation of different […]
This video shows the second part of our particle simulation of the filling and discharge process of a silo using a belt conveyor. For this simulation we use the discrete element methode open source software liggghts. In a upcomming tutorial the usage of the belt will be presented. In general the suitable selection of a mechanical discharge device, the properties of the bulk material, […]
This video shows a particle simulation of the filling and discharge process of a silo. For this simulation we use the discrete element methode open source software liggghts. Silo and bunker systems are used in every material handling system whereby bulk materials have to be temporarily stored. The need for intermediate storage arises primarily for the following reasons: 1. Creation of technological reserves to smooth the […]
Tutorials of DEM with LIGGGHTS Tutorial of DEM Simulation using LIGGGHTS: Complete Workflow of a silo simulation. This Video shows the complete workflow of a DEM Simulation using the open source software LIGGGHTS. The tutorial shows a silo simulation including the filling and discharge processes. All steps, starting from the basic idea of the silo, the cad export, the used liggghts script and the necessary […]
