ROCKY

How to approach hardware selection in 2025 for Ansys CFD solvers (all budgets considered – from laptops to clusters!)

Working at the bleeding-edge of engineering simulations, LEAP’s engineers are frequently asked for advice from our clients across many different industries, who are looking to successfully navigate the balance between cost and optimal solver performance when purchasing new hardware. The following advice is primarily based on LEAP’s accumulated recent experience with a particular focus on CFD workloads (Ansys Fluent), as FVM codes are capable of scaling incredibly well if the system is well designed.

Rocky DEM for Transfer Chutes, Conveyors and Bulk Materials Handling

LEAP recently ran a webinar that explored how Rocky DEM is helping engineers and equipment designers around Australia to easily troubleshoot existing issues and optimise their designs to avoid chute blockages due to wet/cohesive materials, improve longevity of wear liners and better configure chute flow to reduce belt misalignment and tracking issues.

This article summarises this presentation and includes video highlights including demonstrations of how Rocky DEM simulations help designers assess the overall performance of bulk materials handling systems.

Breakthrough in accurate load mapping for bulk materials applications: DEM – FEA Coupling with ROCKY 3.0 and ANSYS (Part 1)

Today we present a new and easy way to transfer loads from DEM simulations (ROCKY version 3.0 released September 2014) to ANSYS using External Data… Read More »Breakthrough in accurate load mapping for bulk materials applications: DEM – FEA Coupling with ROCKY 3.0 and ANSYS (Part 1)
