First held in 2020, the ATCx DEM is a technology conference dedicated to the Discrete Element Method (DEM) for bulk and granular material simulation. Bringing together engineers, researchers and scientists, this event covers the various applications of DEM in all industries handling or processing granular materials including heavy equipment, mining and metals, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and more.
Below is a collection of presentations from the ATCx DEM Virtual Event that took place in November 2022. Watch the recordings and discover how industry and academic leaders worldwide harness DEM simulation and Altair® EDEM™ software to optimize their equipment and processes.
