Hello, I am a new user of Chrono and DEM-Engine, and I am trying to simulate a mixer for powders using DEM-Engine. However, I have some issues:
1) How can I calibrate the contact properties between particles to obtain specific bulk properties of the material? I have measured friction angle, viscosity, bulk density, and cohesion, but I don't know how to translate them into the contact properties needed for a DEM simulation, such as the Young module, coefficient of restitution, friction coefficient, and so on. 2) I am building my simulation starting from the DEMO_mixer, and I am using Paraview to visualize the results. Referring to this demo, I managed to see the particles and their velocity, but I would like to calculate the forces acting on the blades and the moment about the rotation axis. Do you have any suggestions on how to do it with Paraview or with any other software?
