Many processes require more than the representation of bulk materials – they can involve liquids or gases, magnetism, electricity of the interaction with solids. Aspherix® provides numerous functionalities to equip the models with the required physics!
Calculation of electric conductivity also available in Aspherix®. Potential & electric heating can be calculated for the particles. Conductance and current can be calculated for all particle-particle and particle-wall contacts.
Tutorial case for electric conductivity available!

6-DOF plate motion
This video shows the motion of a plate around a central hinge. The body rotation is determined by the particle-wall forces and by an external torque that acts in opposition to the rotation around the hinge.
Using 1-way coupled Aspherix®-DEM and CFDEM®coupling simulation with a transient fluid velocity field, we are able to model motion of the chaffer inside a combine harvester. Straw and wheat is inserted as a stream from the top and due to segregation and sieving these are separated. The shape and orientation of the particles determines their drag force.
