Undoubtably the hardest part about using DEM technology is setting the material properties to accurately simulate your material. Here at Applied DEMâ„¢, we
aim to make this process as simple as possible. That's why we created the Material Wizard to help our users define material properties right the first time.
Before Material Wizard, setting adequete material properties was a complex multi-day process of setting up and running sliding wall friction tests, rolling wall friction tests,
static angle of repose tests, dynamic angle of repose tests, and packing ratio tests.
Next you would have to compare the results of these simulations to real world results, then tweak your properties and run the tests all over again! The Material
Wizard takes care of this for you by running all of these tests in one batch, constantly comparing the results to the real world values you've provided and tweaking the material
properties until they're just right. For users, this can save days of complicated work that boils down to "guess-and-check." Instead of doing all this work by hand,
users can run the Material Wizard ONCE and walk away while it crunches the numbers.
