Bulk Flow Analyst is a Discrete Element Method simulation tool designed to help engineers analyze and optimize bulk material flow throughout transfer chutes and conveyor systems. Developed and used by engineers with direct expertise in transfer chute design, the software is built to make DEM simulation intuitive and practical so users can focus on chute performance instead of managing complex DEM parameters. Bulk Flow Analyst can simulate transfer problems involving bulk materials moving through chutes, hoppers, feeders, conveyor transfer points, belts, and related material-handling equipment. It helps designers visualize and evaluate how particles flow, impact, accumulate, discharge, and interact with geometry under different operating conditions. Through DEM, it supports analysis of difficult conveyor design challenges such as flow requirements, chute plugging, belt wear, chute surface wear, dust generation, spillage, material degradation, and impact behavior.
