ESSS, a ANSYS business, announced the new release ofANSYS Rocky 2024 R1.1is the industry-leading discrete element method (DEM) software used for simulating the motion of granular and discontinuous material.
In 2024 R1, Ansys Rocky continues to address customers’ needs by delivering features that enable users to perform accurate discrete element method (DEM) simulations. This release keeps the focus on multiphysics, provides new smooth particle hydrodynamics (SPH) capabilities, and optimizes user experience, which creates limitless possibilities in particle dynamics simulation. Take a look at some of the new functionalities
Two-way Thermal Coupling Between Rocky and Mechanical
This release brings a significant leap in equipment thermal analysis with the implementation of two-way thermal coupling with Ansys Mechanical. Users can now run thermal simulations in which particles and equipment affect each other in thermal solutions simultaneously, amplifying insights and boosting the depth of thermal analysis.
Coarse-grained Modeling Extension
The coarse-grained modeling capability was extended to cover the liquid bridge adhesion model and SPH-DEM coupling, unlocking the ability to speed up more complex particle simulations.
Improved Visual Analysis
Particle transparency functionality is very useful for visual analysis, mainly for simulations with a shell particle shape (like plastic bags, leaves, potato chips, pieces of fabric, etc.).
Elevating SPH Capabilities with Rocky
Discover fresh perspectives in fluid simulation by leveraging new state-of-the-art SPH capabilities for enhanced insights.
– Incompressible SPH (iSPH):Through this beta module, you can use a new algorithm for computing pressure that speeds up simulation by four times compared to the default SPH formulation.
– Heat transfer coefficient on walls: You can now calculate the heat transfer coefficient (HTC) on walls to conduct convective thermal analyses of equipment.
– SPH point cloud air drag module: This beta feature accounts for the interaction with a static velocity vector field representing airflow in a one-way coupling scenario with Ansys Fluent when solving the liquid phase using Rocky’s SPH solver.
– Non-Newtonian Models: The dynamics of fluids, like ketchup, require non-Newtonian viscosity representation to be properly modeled and simulated. Rocky has three new viscosity models, which allow users to capture the behavior of non-Newtonian fluids.
Discover Rocky’s New User Interface
To deliver an even better experience when using Rocky, we present a new interface with:
– New mouse controls. The pan, zoom, and spin controls are now standardized within the Ansys products family.
– A new default theme. Following the new Ansys style standardization, Rocky has adopted dark mode as its default theme.
PyRocky: The Rise of a New Developer Ecosystem
With PyRocky, developers and engineers are able to utilize Python’s capabilities more effectively, enabling efficient pre-processing, post-processing, and data extraction from Rocky simulations. By leveraging Python client libraries, engineers can automate repetitive tasks, personalize workflows, and craft bespoke solutions tailored to their unique engineering needs.
Ansys Rockyis a powerful 3D Discrete Element Modeling (DEM) Particle Simulation Software that quickly and accurately simulates the flow behavior of bulk materials with complex particle shapes and size distributions, for typical applications such as conveyor chutes, mills, mixers, and other materials handling equipment. Rocky is fully integrated with the Ansys Workbench suite of products, providing engineers with the ability to perform coupled analysis of particles simulation together with other physics such as structural and fluids.
