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.

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.

Making Informed Material Selections in Ansys Mechanical

Material selection affects the behaviour, performance, and durability of a product. This blog explores material selection options and how to speed up this process in Ansys Mechanical using the comprehensive material database and tools to evaluate and compare the material behaviour.

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.

Reliability Physics Analysis Tools for Implementing MIL-810G STANDARD

In the final part of our series on using Electronics Reliability simulation tools to meet important industry standards, read how to apply Reliability Physics Analysis (RPA) in Ansys Sherlock to meet the MIL-STD-810G standard relating to environmental and lab tests approved for use by the US Department of Defence.

Reliability Physics Analysis Tools for Implementing DO-160G STANDARD

Read how to apply Reliability Physics Analysis (RPA) in Ansys Sherlock to the DO-160G standard which covers “Environmental Conditions and Test Procedures for Airborne Equipment” in the aerospace industry. PCBs installed in any airborne vehicles can be simulated in Ansys Sherlock to assess the vibrational and solder fatigue analysis in order to predict the life cycle/ Time-to-failure (TTF) of key components and the board itself.

Weld Creation in Ansys Mechanical 2022 R1

Welding is a commonly used method that plays a crucial role in the safety, structural integrity, and durability of many fabricated structures. Learn about the significant new features in Ansys Mechanical 2022 R1 which greatly aide the preparation of FEA models involving welded structures and will save you many days of model preparation time.

Reliability Physics Analysis Tools for Implementing GMW3172 STANDARD

Read how to apply Reliability Physics Analysis (RPA) in Ansys Sherlock to the GMW3172 Standard for “General Specification for Electrical/Electronic Components – Environmental/Durability”, part of engineering standards by General Motors which applies to electrical components for passenger/commercial vehicles & trucks.

Reliability Physics Analysis Tools for Implementing SAE J3168 STANDARD

Read how to apply Reliability Physics Analysis (RPA) in Ansys Sherlock to the SAE J3168 standard, covering Electrical, Electronic, Electromechanical Equipment, Modules and Components. This standard was jointly developed by the SAE Automotive Electronic Systems Reliability Standards Committee and SAE Avionics Process Management Committee, and is the first reliability physics analysis (RPA) standard developed specifically for use in the Aerospace, Automotive, Defence and other High-Performance (AADHP) industries.
