Free Webinar: Are your powder simulations realistic? Achieving quantitatively accurate results via state-of-the-art calibration & optimisation

Save the date!

Discrete element method (DEM) simulations, which allow the detailed numerical modelling of the dynamics and mechanics of particulate systems, are widely used in both academia and industry to model a diverse range of processes, from pharmaceutical feeders and mixers to mills, fluidised beds and stirred-tank reactors.

The popularity of DEM stems largely from the fact that it can provide more detailed information than any contemporary experimental technique.

However, a rigorous calibration is necessary to achieve accurate results: without calibration of the various microscopic parameters used in DEM models, their outputs simply cannot be trusted.

In this webinar, Leonard Nicusan (University of Birmingham), will present how powder characterization tools such as the ones provided by GranuTools can be used to efficiently calibrate DEM simulations.

Building upon our experience with industrial partners - FMC, Johnson Matthey, Merck, Mondelez, Corteva, etc. - we will:

• Show the importance of calibrating simulations against experimental measurements.
• Explore calibration & optimisation methods for digital twins, with an emphasis on DEM.
• Introduce a state-of-the-art method for autonomously learning any simulation’s physical parameters, beyond DEM.
• Present academic and industrial case studies calibrating and optimising process equipment digital twins.
