DEM Solutions announces distribution agreement with CAEZEN Technologies of India

Edinburgh, Scotland : DEM Solutions, world leader in discrete element modeling (DEM) software and services announces the appointment of CAEZEN Technologies. CAEZEN will support and distribute EDEM software to the growing particle simulation market in India.

The appointment of CAEZEN Technologies follows the successful sale of EDEM to one of India’s largest multinationals in the minerals, chemical and materials industry. The use of EDEM in the simulation of materials handling and processing equipment reduces the need for physical prototypes and shorter development times.

Ian Williamson, Vice President of Sales at DEM Solutions, comments: “We see many great opportunities in India for the rapid adoption of EDEM as a key development tool. CAEZEN Technologies will provide our customers with the highest level of local technical support and training”.

Hari Doss, Director of CAEZEN Technologies, added: “ The focus of industry thus far has been in the structural (FEA) and fluids (CFD) worlds. However, there is a huge opportunity in India for driving efficiencies in the area of bulk material handling of granular flows. EDEM’s unique capabilities for modeling particle-particle, particle-structure and particle-fluid systems allow us to serve our existing markets of mining (minerals & coal), oil and gas, pharmaceutical and other similar industries across India dealing with bulk handling. We are also excited about EDEM’s potential usage in our premier academic and research labs to further our understanding of granular flows”.

DEM Solutions partners with their customers to improve their products and processes by simulating and analyzing operations at the particle scale. First released in 2005, EDEM software is now used in the design and analysis of particulate handling, processing, and manufacturing operations in almost every industry sector and engineering discipline.

EDEM provides companies with a tool to substantially reduce the number of physical prototypes and tests required to get a product to market or a process on-stream. It is used to help trouble-shoot difficult particulate processes and, because it is physics based, it can greatly improve understanding of system fundamentals leading to better product and process design and innovation.

DEM Solutions’ corporate headquarters are located in Edinburgh, Scotland with offices in Lebanon, New Hampshire, Frankfurt, Germany and Singapore with Distributor representation worldwide. For more information visit: http://www.dem-solutions.com
