EDEM Menu
The EDEM menu provides access to tools related to the MotionSolve - EDEM cosimulation interface.
The following options can be accessed from this menu:
Create EDEM Subsystem
Displays a panel that enables you to transfer geometry to EDEM and set up the EDEM system for co-simulation.
See the Bulk Material Interaction topic for additional information.
Run MS/EDEM Cosimulation in Batch Mode
This tool helps to run the cosimulation in batch mode.
| MotionView MDL or MotionSolve XML file | A valid MotionView (*.mdl) or a MotionSolve (*.xml) that is set up for cosimulation with EDEM. |
| EDEM input deck | A valid EDEM file (*.dem) set up for cosimulation with MotionSolve. |
| EDEM server wait time [s] | EDEM server wait time in seconds to establish connection with MotionSolve. |
Cosimulation in batch can also be run between a local install of EDEM and MotionView/MotionSolve from the Windows command prompt or console in Linux. The msedemcosim batch script is available ~altair_install/hwdesktop/utility/mbd/edem.
| Windows | msedemcosim.bat <mbd_path> <edem_path> |
| Linux | msedemcosim.sh <mbd_path> <edem_path> |

Generate H3D from EDEM Results
This tool helps to convert EDEM particle simulation results to animation H3D that can be visualized in HyperView.
The inputs required are as follows:
| EDEM input deck | EDEM file (*.dem) that contains simulation results. |
| H3D units | Length units needed in H3D. |
