Details –
When designing heavy equipment such as bucket loaders, truck bodies and diggers, Finite Element Analysis tools such as ANSYS are commonly used to assess the structural integrity of designs. Getting representative load data is critical to have confidence in a design and ensure its durability and performance.
About webinar –
In this webinar, we will look at the challenges of designing equipment intended to handle bulk materials such as rocks, soils and ores and discuss traditional approaches to obtaining loads and their limitations. We will introduce an alternative using bulk material simulation technology and provide an overview of ‘EDEM for ANSYS’ – a tool that enables to add realistic material loads directly into ANSYS Mechanical structural analysis.
