DEM Solutions

DEM Solutions is a leading provider of Discrete Element Method (DEM) simulation software, primarily known for its flagship product, EDEM. The company serves the pharmaceutical and life sciences industries by providing advanced tools to simulate and optimize the behavior of bulk materials, such as powders, granules, and tablets, during the manufacturing process. Its technology is used to model critical operations including mixing, milling, tablet coating, and die filling, helping pharmaceutical engineers ensure product uniformity and reduce manufacturing waste. By enabling virtual prototyping, the software accelerates process scale-up and supports Quality by Design (QbD) initiatives. In November 2019, DEM Solutions was acquired by Altair Engineering, integrating its particle simulation capabilities into Altair's broader computer-aided engineering (CAE) portfolio.
