Structure Vision’s DigiDEMTM software can be used to model complex dynamic particulate systems in the mining and process industries.

DigiDEMTM has been validated for critical applications, such as the packing of catalyst pellets in columns.
In the mining industry, it can be used to simulate any moving particle processes, particularly those affected by particle shape, such as sieving, mineral separation, segregation, stirring and blending, conveyors, rotating drums and general bulk materials handling.
DigiDEMTM enables precise simulation of complex geometrical shapes, because unlike traditional DEM tools, it uses a 3D voxel representation for particles rather than spherical representation.

DigiDEMTM is interoperable with other components of the DigiPacTM suite, allowing further analysis such as flow and permeability, sintering simulation, thermal conductivity, dissolution and many more.
Input to DigiDEMTM can be from scanned samples using X-Ray Tomography, standard CAD files, or parametrically defined objects.
