1. What are Ansys Rocky\u2122 modules and why should I use them?<\/h2>\n

Ansys Rocky\u2122 is developed with many built-in features, and modules are pieces of code that are built using the Solver SDK<\/strong> to apply novel models, laws or functionalities to Rocky simulations. By using your own custom modules, you can add specific features for your simulations at your own time.<\/p>\n

2. What is Ansys Rocky\u2122 Solver SDK, and how to get it?<\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Ansys Rocky\u2122 Solver SDK enables the development of custom modules for Rocky. The package includes the runtime libraries, simulation information and compilation mechanisms you need to create your own custom modules<\/strong>. To get it, you must access the SDK and Modules <\/strong>package on Ansys Customer Portal<\/a>. In the Downloads page select the Release Version, Operational System and download the SDK and Modules Package<\/strong> in Add-On Packages section.<\/p>\n

To learn more about how to customize Rocky software and create your own modules access the Ansys Rocky Solver SDK Manual<\/a> on Ansys Developer Portal.<\/p>\n
