The idea of simulating granular materials in Abaqus has recently caught my attention.

A few years ago, I worked on a fascinating project in an iron ore mine, focusing on the wear of discs during the pelletizing process.

That practical experience left a lasting impression on me and motivated me to revisit this topic.

Now, I aim to simulate the pelletizing process in Abaqus to delve deeper into the behavior of granular materials under such conditions.

Could this approach pave the way for a deeper understanding and optimization of the pelletizing process?

To provide more context about this process, I’ve uploaded a related video.
