Ansys Rocky + Ansys Mechanical: 2-Way Structural Coupling

The combination of Rocky and Mechanical continues to expand with increasingly better features and after the availability of the 2-way thermal coupling, with this new version, it is now also possible to perform the 2-way structural coupling between both software.

The Rocky and Mechanical structural coupling provides a huge gain in handling complex interactions between particles with structural responses, allowing more comprehensive and accurate simulations

Velocity Profile File in a Motion Frame

The ability to import a custom velocity profile as a file to a motion frame with translation and rotation motions that can be applied to the geometries, providing complex and realistic dynamics to the simulation.

Transient Point Cloud Support

The Point Clouds feature enables you to import a text file containing field data that defines one or more points in space. Rocky already had the possibility to add a static point cloud, but now with the 2024 R2 version it is possible to import Transient Point Clouds, which specifies the start and end times for individual static point clouds.

This data can then be used by Rocky in various ways depending upon the functionality of the External Module making use of the Point Cloud.

Ansys Rocky + Ansys EnSight

Rocky Simulations elevated to new levels: Coupling Ansys Rocky with Ansys EnSight brings together the strengths of DEM and SPH simulations with advanced postprocessing visualization, offering several key benefits such as rendering capabilities, including lighting, environment and material presets as well as high-resolution and interactive 3D graphics enabling better understanding and presentation of your simulations results.
