\u00a0What’s New in Ansys Rocky 2024 R2<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

A new Ansys Rocky<\/strong> release with new features to enable users to perform simulations with the best there is, providing new DEM <\/strong>and SPH capabilities<\/strong> and optimizing the user experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the Multiphysics <\/strong>field there are key enhancements for the existing coupling with Ansys Mechanical <\/strong>along with the new integration of Rocky with Ansys EnSight<\/strong> which empowers the users to boost the postprocessing visualization with more realistic videos and images.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ansys Rocky 2024 R2<\/span><\/strong> makes what was already good even better and brings innovations that take engineering simulations to new levels. See below more of what this new version brings:<\/span><\/p>\n

Ansys Mechanical Coupling Enhancements<\/h2>\n

Ansys Rocky + Ansys Mechanical: 2-Way Structural Coupling<\/h3>\n

The combination of Rocky<\/strong> and Mechanical<\/strong> 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.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Rocky and Mechanical structural coupling<\/strong> provides a huge gain in handling complex interactions between DEM particles and SPH elements with structural responses, allowing more comprehensive and accurate simulations.<\/span><\/p>\n
