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
Bulk Flow Analyst serves as a Discrete Element Method (DEM) simulation tool tailored for engineers seeking to assess and enhance the flow of bulk materials in transfer chutes and conveyor systems. Created by engineers who possess in-depth knowledge of transfer chute design, this software aims to simplify DEM simulations, allowing users to concentrate on the performance of the chutes rather than getting bogged down by intricate DEM settings. The tool is capable of simulating various transfer challenges involving bulk materials traversing through chutes, hoppers, feeders, conveyor transfer points, and other related material-handling devices. It enables designers to visualize and assess how particles flow, collide, accumulate, discharge, and interact with their surroundings under varying operational conditions. By utilizing DEM, the software assists in addressing complex conveyor design issues, such as flow dynamics, chute blockages, wear on belts and chute surfaces, dust generation, material spillage, degradation, and impact behavior, thus providing a comprehensive solution for engineers in the field. Additionally, it helps to ensure that material handling systems operate efficiently, minimizing possible disruptions and enhancing overall productivity.
