What's New in Aspherix® 7.0.0?
Aspherix® 7.0.0 release highlights: a new GPU mode on Linux, the Roessler-Katterfeld combined wear model, and ohmic heating with nonspherical particles.
Simulation of mining applications
DEM simulations of a Liebherr dragline excavator, Finnie wear in a transfer chute and a ball mill liner, and a vibratory screener.
What's New in CFDEM®coupling 6.6.0?
Aspherix® now offers local coarse-graining, allowing users to define coarse-graining settings individually for each particle template. This flexibility supports more accurate and efficient simulation of systems with mixed particle types. In CFDEM®coupling, drag models and heat transfer models (such
What's New in Aspherix® 6.6.0?
A new release brings several key improvements: a dedicated command now enables the calculation of temporal residuals for better monitoring of simulation convergence over time.
Particle Shape Matters in Slurry Shield Tunnelling
Modelling flat bentonite particles as spheres over-predicts how deep slurry infiltrates the soil. Flat particles build a filter cake near the surface.
How Many Spheres Does a Multisphere Particle Need?
Three or more spheres reproduce the bulk behaviour of a spherocylinder in seven tests. More spheres damp multi-contact collisions and need a smaller time step.
Burrowing Through Sand: Penetrator Simulations at Arizona State University
A virtual calibration chamber matches a documented cone penetration test, then shows why an expanding shaft makes penetration easier.
What's New in CFDEM®coupling 6.5.0?
The IBMeshMotion module has been enhanced to support the use of Function1 objects for both linear and rotational movements, replacing the previous use of scalars.
What's New in Aspherix® 6.5.0?
A new and powerful way to define particle compositions has been introduced.
What's New in Aspherix® 6.4.0?
Modelling radiative heat transfer is now possible - an efficient distance-based approximation method has been implemented.
What's New in Aspherix® 6.3.0?
