The solution allows engineers to introduce realistic bulk material behaviors to their multi-body dynamics simulations, and offers unrivalled insight into how material loads are transferred throughout a mechanical system. This coupled solution results in optimized equipment design, reduced physical testing, reduced time to market and improved design quality.

Richard LaRoche, CEO of EDEM commented: “EDEM is excited to join Siemens PLM Software’s partner community. The strength of our two organizations working together will deliver significant value to our customers.”

Willy Bakkers, vice president – head of 3D Simulation Division, Siemens PLM Software added: “Siemens PLM Software is committed to creating partnerships to help enhance the end-user experience of our customers. We are pleased to work with EDEM to provide open, integrated solutions that improve the productivity of our mutual customers.”
