What is Simcenter EDEM?

Simcenter EDEM is a sophisticated software application that employs the Discrete Element Method to effectively simulate the behavior of bulk materials and particles, allowing engineers to gain crucial insights into how granular substances interact with handling equipment in different operational and processing contexts. It adeptly models and assesses the dynamics of a variety of materials, including coal, minerals, soils, fibers, grains, tablets, powders, rocks, and crops. With an extensive collection of pre-calibrated material model libraries for various substances such as rocks, ores, soils, and powders, users can swiftly initiate their simulations, while the validated physics models support a range of material behaviors, including those that are dry, sticky, or compressible. Moreover, Simcenter EDEM is particularly proficient in simulating complex, large-scale particle systems comprising millions of individual particles, providing fast and scalable computing options across CPU, GPU, and multi-GPU setups. This adaptability positions it as an essential tool for engineers aiming to enhance the handling and processing of granular materials in a multitude of industries. The software not only streamlines workflows but also enables users to explore innovative solutions to common challenges in material handling.

What is Ansys Rocky?

Ansys Rocky is a high-performance particle simulation platform that applies the discrete element method to model the behavior of granular materials, powders, fibers, and other particulate systems. Developed for engineering and industrial applications, the software enables users to study particle interactions with exceptional detail and realism. Ansys Rocky supports realistic particle geometries, including non-spherical shapes, flexible and rigid fibers, 2D shells, and custom particle structures that closely represent real-world materials. Its multi-GPU solver architecture significantly accelerates simulation performance, making it possible to analyze large particle populations and highly complex systems efficiently. The platform includes advanced physical modeling capabilities such as wear prediction, breakage analysis, cohesion modeling, particle collision behavior, and material degradation studies. Engineers can integrate Rocky with computational fluid dynamics and finite element analysis tools to create multiphysics simulations that account for fluid flow, structural interactions, and particle dynamics simultaneously. The software also supports multibody dynamics, 3D scan imports, automated workflows, and customizable simulation scripting. Industries such as mining, pharmaceuticals, food processing, manufacturing, agriculture, chemicals, and consumer products use Ansys Rocky to improve equipment design and optimize operational processes. By reducing dependence on physical testing, organizations can evaluate design alternatives more quickly and lower development costs. Recent enhancements include engineering copilot functionality, expanded multiphysics coupling, improved GPU performance, and advanced automation features that further increase simulation efficiency.
