CAD/CAM/CAE Software

Draw the Chute

The Helix chute design program has the following main features:

· Draw a 3D model of the transfer station in the program

· Use a CAD drawing program to draw the transfer station (optional)

· Add multiple feed and receiving conveyor belts

· Add multiple feed points with different materials

· Add conveyor pulleys to transfer chute

· Cater for any geometry transfer chute

· Ability to Import transfer chute geometry from CAD drawing programs

· Record the Particle Flow inWindows Media Player .avi movie format

· Export the final design geometry back to a CAD drawing program for incorporation of the design in
  project drawings

CAD/CAM/CAE Software

 Helix Chute Design







 . . . . is a powerful computer software

package developed to make conveyor transfer

chute design more scientific. The program uses

the Discrete Element Method, called DEM, to

calculate and simulate the path a bulk material

follows through a transfer.

 
 
 
 

Powerful DEM modelling and Calculations

Helix Technologies’ research and development of

conveyor design software began in 1992 and this

Chute Design Program is the culmination of

intensive software development by the company.

The program uses OpenGL graphics coupled to

DEM calculations and 3D Vector geometry

developed entirely in-house to provide the

materials handling design engineer with a

complete design tool for transfer chutes.
