Live in-person introductory training course. This four-day course provides guidance in the use of the Itasca codes PFC2D and PFC3D to simulate the mechanical behavior of granular and solid materials.
Version Notes:PFC 6.00
Level: Beginner Runs in Demo: Yes
This example demonstrates the use of PFC to model conveyer systems, which are often used in the pharmaceutical, chemical, materials processing, and agricultural engineering industries.
A simple conveyer system with a single conveyer belt is shown in this example. The new “velocity-conveyer” attribute for walls is used to set the belt velocity.
Rigid blocks are used to simulate a granular material with a simple linear contact model.
