Engineers, designers, and teams who need a tool to simulate transfer chutes, optimize material flow, and troubleshoot conveyor systems
About Bulk Flow Analyst
Bulk Flow Analyst is a Discrete Element Method simulation tool designed to help engineers analyze and optimize bulk material flow throughout transfer chutes and conveyor systems. Developed and used by engineers with direct expertise in transfer chute design, the software is built to make DEM simulation intuitive and practical so users can focus on chute performance instead of managing complex DEM parameters. Bulk Flow Analyst can simulate transfer problems involving bulk materials moving through chutes, hoppers, feeders, conveyor transfer points, belts, and related material-handling equipment. It helps designers visualize and evaluate how particles flow, impact, accumulate, discharge, and interact with geometry under different operating conditions. Through DEM, it supports analysis of difficult conveyor design challenges such as flow requirements, chute plugging, belt wear, chute surface wear, dust generation, spillage, material degradation, and impact behavior.

Chutes
Chutes is breakthrough serverless compute for AI, at scale: a leading open source, decentralized compute platform for deploying, scaling, and running open-source models in production. Built for hyperscaling AI-powered products, it gives developers high-performance AI inference for top state-of-the-art open source models, ephemeral jobs, batch processing jobs, and much more. Chutes works around the clock to provide the latest open-source models minutes after release, so when a new model lands, builders can get access to what is next first. There is a Chute for everything, not just the LLMs you would expect: Chutes runs image, video, speech, music, embeddings, content moderation, and custom model workloads, always on and ready to scale. With Chutes, teams bring the code and let the platform handle the rest, using fast APIs, the Chutes SDK, or one-click deployments to run serverless AI code without infrastructure setup.
