Altair EDEM software,accurately simulates the behavior of rocks, soils, gravel, grains, tablets and powders and their interaction with equipment during a range of operation and process conditions. EDEM is used globally in all industries that handle or process bulk and granular materials, from heavy equipment and off-road, to mining, metals, as well as process manufacturing.

The key features in EDEM version 2025:
Volume Packing
- Volume Packing has the following major updates to improve usability and functionality:
- The ability to set Total Mass instead of Solid Fraction
- The EDEM Simulator Progress Bar now indicates the progress of Volume Packing prior to the start of a simulation
- The ability to cancel Volume Packing before completion, with particles being retained
Fibers Bonding Model
The Fibers Bonding model has been introduced specifically for the modeling of fibers. It accurately handles the stiffness of cylindrical-section, curved and heterogeneous fibers, where the thickness and material properties can change along the fiber. It features bending-caused fiber breakage and plasticity.
Liquid Bridge Model
The Liquid Bridge Model introduces a cohesive force between two particles (or between one particle and a Geometry) when particles are wet. Consider the use of this model when the material is slightly wet or partially saturated, but not when it is fully saturated.
Linear Elastic Bonding Model
The previous implementation of the LEBM required the contact radii to overlap to maintain the bonds. With the addition of the Preserve Contact functionality to the API, bonds can now extend beyond the contact radius and will break only when the specified force is reached.
