Rocky Updates in Ansys 2025 R2

Tom Chadwick, Senior CFD Engineer, PADT

Accelerate your toughest particle simulations by using the most powerful DEM software in the market. 

Ansys Rocky contains industry leading features and capabilities to solve large, complex problems accurately and efficiently. This tool is uniquely capable to model real particle shapes including any solids, 2D shells, and rigid and flexible fibers. With multi-graphics processing unit (GPU) solver technology, you can simulate the behavior of different shaped and sized particles in many industrial applications, quickly and accurately. 

Ansys 2025 R2 introduces the capability to consider both DEM/SPH forces in two-way structural coupling simulations with Rocky and Mechanical. Deformable particles, a beta feature, allow simulation with large elastic and plastic deformation of solid particles, the new DEM Liquid Spray module brings additional physics, and the thermal support for semi-resolved cases is present in this latest release.
