The software features GPU utilization for running simulations, making the heavy DEM simulation possible. Additionally, it has a user-friendly interface, which helps unfamiliar new users with the DEM method. Another very interesting point is the help material provided by Altair, the company responsible for EDEM. The educational material is quite comprehensive, with many tutorials and insights.

The software calculates the behavior of particles at each time step, following the theory behind DEM. Because of this, the number of files saved at each time step is excessively large and takes up a lot of space on the hard drive. If you have a large number of analyses to run, managing these files can be a challenge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
