# Beyond Basic: Advanced simulations in EDEM using the Application Programming and Coupling Interfaces

Image credit: EDEM

### Abstract

EDEM simulations can be customised and extended using the EDEM Application Programming Interface (API). THE API allows users to create custom contact model, particle body force models and particle factories. There are also various coupling options that allow CFD and rigid body dynamics to be included.

Click on the Slides button above to view the built-in slides feature.

Slides can be added in a few ways:

• Create slides using Wowchemy’s Slides feature and link using slides parameter in the front matter of the talk file
• Upload an existing slide deck to static/ and link using url_slides parameter in the front matter of the talk file
• Embed your slides (e.g. Google Slides) or presentation video on this page using shortcodes.

Further event details, including page elements such as image galleries, can be added to the body of this page.

My research interests include particulate mechanics, the Discrete Element Method (DEM) and other numerical simulation tools. I’m also interested in all things data and how to extract meaningful information from it.
