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.

Description

Simcenter MotionSolve provides engineers with the tools to accurately forecast the dynamic performance of intricate mechanical systems through multibody dynamics simulation. By facilitating early assessment of mechanisms and accounting for real-world factors like contact interactions and material flexibility, it minimizes the need for extensive physical testing. Engineers can effectively mechanize CAD models to analyze the operational dynamics of various mechanisms, explore design alternatives, and determine the appropriate fidelity level for predicting loads essential for subsequent finite element analyses, including evaluations of strength and fatigue. The platform offers comprehensive multibody dynamics simulations that calculate critical parameters such as motion, forces, accelerations, and reactions, enabling engineers to comprehend mechanism performance under realistic operating scenarios. Furthermore, Simcenter MotionSolve accommodates flexible bodies, integrating elastic deformation with rigid-body motion to ensure that factors such as stiffness and compliance are accurately represented, which is crucial when these elements significantly affect the overall performance of the system. This robust capability allows for more precise design optimization and enhances engineers’ understanding of complex interactions within mechanical systems.
