Rocky in Action: Deformable Particles
\n <\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

This 15-minute webinar showcases Ansys Rocky and its solution for DEM deformable particles. Ansys Rocky high-fidelity particle simulations can now consider deformable particles – needed for high-impact and material compression situations – and in this webinar you will learn how these particles are modeled and how to easily extract meaningful results for material compaction applications.<\/p>\n
