Introduction to Ansys Rocky
one-day courseThis course focuses on essential Rocky DEM models and includes five hands on workshops. Particle shape representations, motion frames, and postprocessing will be discussed. Students will become proficient with the Rocky interface throughout the course with workshops that build on one another and expose progressively more advanced features.
Students are encouraged to be ready to discuss areas of Rocky application at their own companies.
