Protection
Engineering Consultants Selects DEM EDEM
 LEBANON,
NH, Aug 19, 2008 - DEM Solutions, world leader in discrete element modeling
(DEM) software and services is pleased to announce that Protection
Engineering Consultants, of Spring Branch, Texas, has chosen to add DEM
Solutions’ EDEM software to an already impressive arsenal of innovative
software solutions used in their multi-hazard assessment and protective
design consulting work. Protection Engineering Consultants will utilize the
EDEM modeling software in a current project aimed at developing new civil
aircraft arresting systems for safely decelerating an aircraft that overruns
a runway during landing or take off.
DEM Solutions’ EDEM software package will provide a way to model,
test, and evaluate promising alternative granular materials and
design options for the arresting systems by modeling the action of
aircraft tires rolling through simulated aggregate arresting beds.
EDEM offers a virtual representation of aggregate dynamics that
would be very computationally expensive to achieve with a finite
element code. The ability to directly input aggregate material
properties into the various model scenarios will also reduce time
and costs.
“We have been very impressed with the short model set-up time
that EDEM offers,” commented Matthew Barsotti, of Protection
Engineering Consultants. “The all-in-one interface makes pre- and
post- processing a seamless process and allows the flexibility to
change parameters in the middle of a simulation.”
Protection Engineering Consultants partners with government
agencies, architectural and construction firms, and a variety of
industrial and commercial clients to provide research, design and
consulting services to enhance the physical protection of people,
systems and the built environment. EDEM software may eventually be
incorporated into a variety of projects involving assessment of, and
protective design for, ballistic and vehicular impact attacks and
accidents.

About DEM Solutions
DEM Solutions partners with their customers to improve their
products and processes by simulating and analyzing operations at the
particle scale. First released in 2005, EDEM software is now used in
the design and analysis of particulate handling, processing, and
manufacturing operations in almost every industry sector and
engineering discipline.
EDEM provides companies with a tool to substantially reduce the
number of physical prototypes and tests required to get a product to
market or a process on-stream. It is used to help trouble-shoot
difficult particulate processes and, because it is physics based, it
can greatly improve understanding of system fundamentals leading to
better product and process design and innovation.
DEM Solutions’ corporate headquarters are located in Edinburgh,
Scotland with offices in Lebanon, New Hampshire, Frankfurt, Germany
and Singapore with Distributor representation worldwide.
