This paper proposes a research method of paddy separation using discrete element simulation technology.First,the geometric model of paddy separator was simplified and imported into the EDEM,where forms of exercise were set appropriately. Then,the particle models of polyploid rice paddy and brown rice were created,and the simulation parameters of the paddy separator based on the actual working condition were set. It suggests that paddy separating simulation based on EDEM and actual working condition is very close,which means that paddy separating simulation based on EDEM can be used in the proc...
