Post Processing 

EDEM Cal allows for automated post processing of the simulation to be performed.

This can be based upon:

  1. A pre-configured data query from the EDEM analyst
  2. An EDEMpy script

The Post processing interface comprises the following options - No Analysis, EDEM, and Python Analysis.

No Analysis

A manual, or alternative approach for analysis can be used.  In such instances no post processing options will be required from EDEMCal. Selecting the No Analysis option indicates that simulations are set up and simulated but no post processing will be performed.

EDEM

  1. The EDEM option allows users to use a predefined query within the EDEM Analyst to analyze the each of the simulations performed by EDEMCal.  In order to perform this Analysis the query must be compatible with the EDEM prototype deck.  The EDEM simulation should be saved and closed.
  2. The EDEM Configuration file (.dfg) contains the analyst settings.  This can be written or pasted into the box or found through the windows explorer interface.  To find the file in windows explorer click the ... icon. Navigate to the dfg and select Open.  
    This will populate the box with the path to the .dfg file.
  3. The EDEM Data file (.ess) contains information on bin groups.  If the analysis performed contains bin groups the .ess file will be required in addition to the .dfg file.  This can be written or pasted into the box or found through the windows explorer interface.  To find the file in windows explorer click the ... icon. Navigate to the ess and select Open.  
    This will populate the box with the path to the .ess file.

Python Analysis

A EDEMpy script can be used for the post processing. For more information on running EDEMpy analysis, see the EDEM User Forum.

  1. Deck specification flag:  -d (or similar to what is in the script).
  2. Python file location: input path to the .py file.
