Ansys #RockyDEM is the go-to tool for accurately simulating the performance of bulk materials handling systems.   Join us for this webinar to learn how Rocky DEM Particle Simulator is helping engineers and equipment designers around Australia to easily troubleshoot existing issues and optimise their designs to: - avoid chute blockages due to wet / cohesive materials, - improve longevity of wear liners, - better configure chute flow to reduce belt misalignment and tracking issues. LEAP’s DEM experts will demonstrate how Ansys Rocky simulations help you assess the overall performance of your bulk materials handling system, identify problem areas and set up virtual tests for geometry/operational parameters to identify weak points in the system.   Register at https://lnkd.in/eqB_SM7d #DEM #BulkMaterialsHandling #TransferChutes #ConveyorSystems #blockage

Highly recommended and a must listen for all serious CFD practitioners - Kade Beck speaks with Prof. David F Fletcher about his 40-year career in CFD, spanning both industrial CFD (through an ongoing affiliation with LEAP Australia and Ansys) and academia at the University of Sydney An enlightening discussion that covers the importance of mentoring and the changing educational landscape, the value of practical experience amongst CFD practitioners, collaboration between simulation experts and operations staff, and fascinating observations on the role of simulation in digital transformation initiatives and the exciting future ahead for CFD'ers

At LEAP, we work closely with many customers who use #Altium for their PCB designs. If you or your colleagues are using Altium, we’ve got a new blog just for you: learn how the new collaboration between Ansys & Altium® helps fast-track the way your engineers and PCB designers can work together, by seamlessly combining #ECAD and #Simulation workflows.   At the recent Altium Designer 24 launch event in Sydney, Thomas Benke from LEAP Australia’s Electronics Team was invited to speak about the new Altium-Ansys digital bridge and show how it replaces time-consuming (and error-prone) manual data exchange with a seamless, digital connection. Here in our latest blog we offer the highlights from that presentation, covering industry trends, this recently announced Altium-Ansys Smart Bridge (including a live demonstration), followed by a discussion of typical simulation examples for #PCB analysis.

The America's Cup has always been the ideal testing ground for new marine technology. In the upcoming 37th America’s Cup, the AC37 protocol has banned the use of full-scale physical testing – so competing teams are unable to use wind tunnels, cavitation tunnels, towing tanks or maneuvering basins. Instead, as you might expect, all the leading teams now rely heavily on computer simulation. This recent article by Digital Engineering 24/7 provides an excellent overview of the challenges and advances in simulation techniques for these incredibly advanced sailing yachts, with contributions by Stephen Collie, Aerodynamics Coordinator, Emirates Team New Zealand and Nick Goodall, Ansys Business Manager at LEAP Australia discussing how data from Ansys Fluids and Ansys Structures software has become critical for ETNZ for their VPP to optimise their boat designs to suit specific racecourses and weather scenarios. In particular, we noted Steve’s observation on the relentless competition that exists within elite sailing and the vital ongoing role that simulation plays. “I fully expect to still be running simulations even in the last few days during racing in October, right down to the last race,” says Collie. “We’re continually trying to extract extra performance from all of our equipment and use simulation to get that extra edge.”  #AmericasCup #AC37 #Sailing #Simulation America's Cup Barcelona Full article at https://lnkd.in/g3xDC5pP

🛰️ With every new LEO satellite put in orbit, the global space industry continues to push the envelope in terms of both the sheer quantity and quality of space data available. Simultaneously our day-to-day lives rely on this technology now more than ever, with the services these LEO constellations provide engrained in the very infrastructure around us. 🌐 For this very reason, engineers, satellite operators and project managers require the confidence in their solutions to not only survive in one of the most challenging environments available, but to excel for their entire mission duration. 🔗 Join us in our latest #DigitalMissionEngineering Series to explore the key challenges brought on by LEO satellite design, including RF Comms Design, Constellation Coverage Analysis, and the ever-critical Conjunction Analysis. 🔍 Part 1 is live now on our new #DME Blog! Be sure to check it out alongside our previous series exploring Aviation and Radar Detection. Read now: https://lnkd.in/gPX3DFn7 #LEOSatellite #AnsysSTK #Space

Caecilia Potter and Marko Trifunović took the time to speak with LEAP about how Venso Labs has successfully applied Ansys simulation and IoT control with #ThingWorx to develop the #VensoFlow fluidisation process, which involves injecting liquid or solid particles into a gas stream to achieve significant improvements in heat & mass transfer and catalytic reactions, whilst using less energy than competing technologies. Their first commercial application involves the coating of agricultural seeds with VensoGrow, where the inherent benefits of the Venso Flow process helps improve #seedcoating which in turn increases crop yields, enhances shelf life and reduces environmental pollution. Process control is also critical. During the video, Marko shows how their #IoT process control software, powered by ThingWorx, a PTC Technology allows them to monitor and control both the seed and the coating's temperature – providing critical data which impacts on crop yields, including the seed’s performance, vigour and germination. Our team especially loved Caecilia's explanation of how the broader benefits of simulation applied to both their internal team, helping fast-track their own technical insights into the Venso Flow process (originally developed over a lifetime by her father, Emeritus Prof. Owen Potter); but also when communicating the unique benefits of their process to potential customers, partners and investors. Caecilia closes with “once we were able to validate and reproduce the physical results in a virtual model, that meant we could do *thousands* of virtual tests and get extraordinary insights from that - much more cost effectively and rapidly than any physical prototyping… (which was) a game changer for Venso!” #AnsysStartupProgram #AnsysStartup #Fluidisation #SeedCoating #Fluidization #ProcessControl

In the world of satellites, there’s a new game-changer: Low Earth Orbit (LEO) constellations joining hands with Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). What does this mean for us? In this guest blog, Dr. Amir Allahvirdi-Zadeh, Research Fellow at Curtin University explains how LEO-PNT systems help solve numerous challenges when operating in critical environments, ensuring greater reliability and precision than ever before.

Venso Labs technical founder was Emeritus Professor Owen Potter AM, a globally renowned chemical engineer who developed a range of innovations in #fluidisation that aimed to resolve difficult technical challenges and improve the sustainability of many industrial processes. Driven by honouring her father’s legacy, learn how Caecilia Potter and her VensoGrow team including Marko Trifunović are using insights from simulation to help the next generation of engineers to better understand and further improve the Venso Flow process, starting with it's use in seed coating applications: https://lnkd.in/gWSMd8K6 #seedcoating #Fluidization #AnsysStartup
