Abstract

Because of the complexity of conveyors working process, so far the research and the design of conveyors usually rely on the designer's experience or test methods. In order to help mechanical engineers identify problems and modify the design at the design conveyor stage by showing the work process and job performance of the conveyor .Basing on the discrete element methods, this paper design and implement the working process of conveyors and conveyor performance analysis software. And achieve integration with the three-dimensional CAD software.This software can simulate conveyors working process in a short period of time and make conveyor achieve higher transport efficiency, to provide a new method and tools for research and design of the conveyor.
