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

iGRAF is a comprehensive simulation tool that integrates powder and multiphase flow dynamics, effectively bridging the gap between these two domains. This innovative solution is tailored to accurately replicate a diverse array of powder behaviors while setting new benchmarks in simulation technology. With its advanced DEM-CFD solver, iGRAF provides users with the capability to perform precise analyses of both single-phase and multiphase flows, thereby enhancing the understanding of particle-fluid interactions within a unified platform. The tool's dynamic geometry control features allow for translations, rotations, vibrations, and customizable motion, enabling teams to effectively capture the intricate dynamics of complex systems. Additionally, it incorporates validated models for liquid bridging and van der Waals forces to evaluate the effects of moisture and adhesion on particle behavior, with its liquid bridge force model confirmed for moisture levels of up to 15%. Furthermore, iGRAF employs the Signed Distance Function along with the Immersed Boundary Method to adeptly identify and manage arbitrary solid geometries, ensuring flexibility in various applications. This versatility makes iGRAF an invaluable asset for researchers and engineers working with complex multiphase systems.
