Little P.Eng. for Discrete Element Modeling (DEM) Services Across Canada and USA

At Little P.Eng. Engineering, we offer expert Discrete Element Modeling (DEM) services to support complex engineering challenges across Canada and the USA. Our professional engineering team applies cutting-edge simulation technology to optimize bulk material handling, analyze particle interactions, and improve equipment performance in mining, agriculture, cement, energy, and chemical processing industries.

🔍 What is Discrete Element Modeling (DEM)?

Discrete Element Modeling (DEM) is a numerical method used to simulate and analyze the motion and interaction of thousands to millions of individual particles (e.g., sand, coal, grain, pellets). Unlike continuum mechanics, DEM tracks each particle separately, offering unmatched accuracy for evaluating particle flow, wear, segregation, compaction, and system behavior under dynamic conditions.

DEM helps engineers:

• Visualize flow patterns inside hoppers, chutes, silos, conveyors, mills, and crushers.

• Minimize blockages, spillage, and equipment wear.

• Evaluate segregation and blending efficiency.

• Optimize equipment shape, layout, and operation.

• Predict forces, stresses, and energy losses in particle systems.
