Altair EDEM Web Training Series: Australia

Live Webinar – Jul 27 - 05 Aug | 3:00 pm AEST

The performance and reliability of bulk materials handling and processing equipment used in mining operations such as conveyor transfer points and feed chutes, reclaimers, crushers and grinding mills is a critical factor determining the productivity of mines and plants.

Altair EDEM software, powered by the Discrete Element Method (DEM) technology, simulates and analyses the behavior of a wide range of bulk materials such as coal, ores and rocks – enabling engineers to understand the flow of these materials through each segment of their equipment or operation.

We are inviting you to join a free training course, introducing Altair EDEM software and its workflows.

Attendees will receive a FREE 1-month trial license of Altair EDEM Software!*
