HELYX-PEM is a specialised add-on solver for HELYX developed by ENGYS to simulate large numbers of solid objects in motion. The solver is based on the Polyhedral Element Method (PEM) to provide a highly accurate and robust numerical framework to approximate the dynamic behaviour of complex shaped solids using a highly efficient face-based geometric approach.
The Polyhedral Elements Method is a reliable and efficient alternative to the Discrete Elements Method (DEM).
