Flat bottomed silo DEM

How to model flat bottomed silo for pure DEM analysis?

Can you please elaborate? I am not sure how to provide assistance here.

I want to model flat bottomed silo like this geometry. How to do it?

A hopper? With a single drain in the center? With or without the fluid (gas)?

Yes opening at center. Actually it’s a silo (a hopper with cone angle zero degree). I am considering it as a dry media (air).

For a quick start (in 2D), load the DEM fluidized bed setup, disable the fluid solver, and change the bottom inlet into an outlet.
