Description

Ansys Motion, now incorporated within the Mechanical interface, represents a cutting-edge engineering solution built upon a sophisticated multibody dynamics solver. This innovative tool facilitates rapid and precise assessments of both rigid and flexible entities, allowing for a comprehensive evaluation of physical phenomena through a holistic approach to mechanical systems. Ansys Motion employs four closely linked solving methodologies: rigid body, flexible body, modal, and meshfree EasyFlex, providing unmatched capabilities for analyzing various systems and mechanisms in any desired combination. It can effectively handle large assemblies with millions of degrees of freedom while accounting for both flexibility and contact effects. Standardized connections and joints enable seamless integration and loading of these systems. Moreover, the ability to conduct simulations within Ansys Motion using the same interface as traditional structural analysis promotes the reusability of a single model for multiple applications, resulting in significant reductions in time and effort required for complex projects. This streamlined workflow enhances productivity and fosters innovation in engineering design.

Description

Ansys Rocky is an advanced discrete element method simulation solution designed to help engineers accurately model particle behavior in complex industrial processes. The software specializes in analyzing granular materials and particle interactions using highly realistic representations of particle shapes, sizes, and physical properties. With multi-GPU acceleration, Ansys Rocky can process large particle counts efficiently, allowing users to tackle computationally demanding simulations with faster turnaround times. The platform supports sophisticated physics models, including wear analysis, particle breakage, cohesion effects, fluid-particle interactions, and multiphysics simulations. Integration with Ansys Fluent and other engineering tools enables users to combine DEM, CFD, and structural analysis for deeper insight into system performance. Engineers can import 3D scans, simulate non-spherical particles, and model fibers and shell-based materials with high accuracy. The software is used in industries such as manufacturing, mining, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, energy, and consumer products where particle flow behavior plays a critical role. Automation and scripting capabilities help streamline workflows and reduce manual setup effort. By providing detailed insight into particle dynamics and equipment interactions, Ansys Rocky supports better engineering decisions and faster product innovation.
