Industry-grade Powder Flow Calibration

Altair® has been working in collaboration with Granutools™ to extend the EDEM calibration kit, a toolkit for efficient material calibration that includes models of standard characterization instruments for bulk solids.

This webinar will introduce the latest updates to the calibration kit included in the release of Altair® EDEM™ 2025.1 and show you how to automatically run and post-process simulations based on the well-known GranuHeap and GranuDrum standard tests. Join this live session to find out how you can reduce the time and effort required for material model calibration of powders and achieve industry-grade powder flow calibration for your simulations.

Granutools stands for ‘Granular Materials Characterization Tools’ and are very well-known and recognized within the industry. Altair is delighted to be collaborating with Granutools with this technology partnership. By initially adding GranuHeap and GranuDrum to the calibration kit, this will simplify and improve the workflow for users who already use Granutools independently, and for others who can add it to their tool set to enhance the realistic representation of the real-world behavior for powders.
