One example of this performance improvement is the coupling with Ansys Motion. Maliska added, “Our focus has always been to solve particle dynamics problems in timelines that are acceptable to engineers, while delivering top performance on accuracy, capabilities, and deeper integration into our customers’ simulation workflow using the Ansys software platform.” I am thankful for the support of our customers, our partners and the effort of our team in developing Rocky 4.5. Performance tests for this new release showed impressive advancement across the board when compared to previous releases, with gains ranging from 50% to 1000%, depending on the application type. Multi-CPU and multi-GPU improved performance and scalability for all applications.Integration with Ansys Minerva for efficient simulation processes and data management.In addition, Rocky users can now generate reduced order models (ROMs) for their process simulations to implement digital twins in Ansys Twin Builder and on a variety of software and hardware platforms. Seamless integration with Ansys optiSLang supports model calibration and enables large-scale design exploration for design optimization and verification.Sample snapshots of enhanced Rocky Ansys Fluent post-processing from a particle drying simulation – Fluid and particle temperature (left), Fluid flow velocity and particle drying rate (right) Expanded CFD-DEM capability now includes a broader range of particle-fluid applications, plus solutions for flows where particles are much larger than CFD mesh, all in a well-integrated workflow with Ansys Fluent.
