Siemens has released Simcenter EDEM 2026.1, bringing updates to its particle simulation software for engineers working with bulk and granular materials. The update introduces:
- A Unified Custom Model API that aims to allow custom physics code to run across CPU and GPU solvers from a common codebase.
- A human-readable JSON input file format that aims to simplify simulation setup, allowing configurations to be edited using scripts or standard text editors and integrated into automated or AI-driven workflows.
- Updates to spray coating analysis for polyhedral particles, aimed at supporting coating-thickness evaluation in applications such as pharmaceutical tablet coating and food seasoning processes.
