Hi everyone,

I just realized there is a DEM feature built in ABAQUS. A drum mixer example is given in user manual. but i still cannot figure out how to do it like how to creating a number of discrete elements, defining their locations, and so on.
Could anyone offer me any tips, or any tutorials which can be hardly found online.

Thanks in advance.
