Better Engineering Through
Multibody Dynamic Simulation

February 2018 | Issue #4

RecurDyn V9R1 adds a new interface for EDEM co-simulation. Likewise, DEM Solutions has announced co-simulation with RecurDyn as one of the key themes of the EDEM 2018 release.This enables the simulation of systems with particles that interact with moving assemblies.

RecurDyn/EDEM co-simulations are explained in this video. Click the play button to the right.
