In a DEM simulation, the concept of local environment (LE) plays a key role in capturing the cooperative behaviors of large systems. Each realistic shape AM particle (secondary particle) considered in this work (Figure ) is composed of several individual spherical elements, referred from now on as primary particles, where we calculate their LE features. LE simplifies particle (primary AM and CBD) interactions ignoring the ones that occurs beyond a specific radius known as cutoff radius. Within this cutoff radius, particles (primary AM and CBD) interact with their nearest neighbors, reflecting their immediate surroundings' structural and dynamic behavior. In our previous work a cutoff radius of 3 µm was chosen , which can effectively capture the microstructure properties by not consuming that many computational resources. Since the dynamics of a particle (primary AM and CBD) is ruled based on the interaction of particles within the radius cutoff, different LE will provide different particle dynamics along the drying simulation. In Figure , we are showing three different LE.
