Guest Blog: Designing optimal wear liners with Ansys Rocky

This guest blog by Dr Daniel Grasser, Consulting Engineer at TUNRA Bulk Solids, Australia provides detailed insight into his DEM studies into reducing wear in bulk materials handling equipment during his affiliation with the ARC Training Centre in Alloy Innovation for Mining Efficiency (mineAlloy) at Deakin University. Learn how Dr Grasser utilised Ansys Rocky to better understand particle flow to improve and optimise the design of wear liners while reducing the need for experimental testing.

Lumerical Tips and Tricks #1 – Automation of Lumerical Tools with Python

In the first of our Lumerical tips and tricks series, we look at new scripting capabilities in Ansys Lumerical using Python which offers users a more streamlined and more automated approach and a faster way to consider a full range of variables related to geometry, mesh, and solver components.

Ansys 2023 Release Highlights – Structures

Recording from LEAP’s recent series of Ansys 2023 R1 & R2 update seminars covering the latest updates in Ansys Structures & Explicit Dynamics. Thes videos are from our Melbourne event, presented by Dr. Luke Mosse, Senior Application Engineer at LEAP Australia.

Mastering Structural Analysis: Integrating External Loads into Ansys Mechanical

Modern engineers often work on the design of increasingly complex systems that will experience a multitude of simultaneous loading factors – such as forces, thermal effects, and pressure. Ansys Workbench offers a range of options to streamline the process of incorporating these external loads into Ansys Mechanical so that Ansys users can accurately predict stress, strain and fatigue life for such complex systems with greater precision.

Fast-tracking the development of autonomous vehicles, drones and robots via engineering simulation

Designers of autonomous vehicles, drones & robots face key safety and reliability challenges when integrating machine vision & complex sensors. Engineering simulation tools can form part of a complete control loop for autonomous systems, helping to replicate the real world performance of sensors in a consistent and repeatable virtual test environment and leading engineers to solve issues before they become a problem in real life.

Switchgear Pre-Compliance Simulations

How to use simulation to ensure switchgear functions to standards such as IEC 61439, incorporating effects such as: short circuit withstand strength, degree of protection of enclosures (arc fault), temperature rise, clearances and creepage distances, Dielectric properties of insulation, electromagnetic compatibility EMC.

Preventing Electronics Failure due to Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)

This blog offers a detailed overview of the workflow to conduct virtual testing of Electrostatic Discharge using Ansys EMA3D – as early as possible in your design cycle once your PCB design is available – helping to reduce expensive recalls and warranty issues due to ESD failures in sensitive electronics.

How will AI impact the role of engineers in 2023 and beyond? We asked OpenAI’s ChatGPT!

The internet is abuzz with excitement about ChatGPT, the new AI chatbot that allows you to interact with one of the world’s largest and most powerful AI models. Recent media coverage has ranged across the spectrum from hype to nope, but at LEAP we wanted to investigate further so we decided to go straight to the source – so we posed a series of questions directly to ChatGPT!

Scripting in Ansys Discovery: Automating repetitive tasks and complex workflows

Learn from our video series on how to use scripting in Ansys Discovery to automate repetitive tasks and complex workflows across a broad range of applications. These videos aim to help Ansys Discovery users to learn the scripting interface, work through some useful examples and adapt scripting methods to their own needs.

What’s new in Ansys for universities and academic researchers?

Highlights from a recent webinar by LEAP’s expert simulation team covering the most significant updates in Ansys for educators and academic researchers in ANZ – with a focus on Structures, Fluids and Electromagnetics across the last 2-3 years.
