Highlights

Particles as spheres, fibres, polyhedra or imported STL, with inlets, fills and breakage
Walls from STL or primitives, troughed conveyors, multi-segment lines and a bucket elevator
Calibration tests: poured, static and drum angle of repose, bulk density, rheometer, wall friction
Angle of repose measured from the result and drawn into the 3D view
Replayable history coloured by velocity, acceleration or displacement; save the setup to a file

A question it answers

Will this transfer chute run without material spilling over the skirtboard, and where on the receiving belt does the stream land?

What you put in

Particle definitions (sphere, fibre, polyhedron, distorted, imported STL, or composed from primitives), size and material properties, friction and restitution, inlet positions and rates, wall geometry and motion, conveyor layout, speed, troughing and guides, wind settings and breakage parameters.

What you get

Animated 3D scene with replayable history, colour maps by several particle quantities, a dashboard of statistics and charts, and a unit-aware geometry setup (m/cm/mm); and four calibration tests (dynamic and static angle of repose, a powder rheometer test and wall friction on an inclined plane) with their own plots.
