More GPUs = faster processing with Rocky DEM

In the past, DEM simulations were restricted to relatively small problems that used, for example, only thousands of larger particles that were mostly spherical in shape. Recent improvements in both DEM codes and computational power have enabled closer-to-reality...

Tavares Breakage Model in Rocky DEM

When simulating particulate systems using the discrete element method (DEM), particle breakage can occur. Sometimes the extent of this breakage is significant, such as in crushers and mills, which are designed to crush chunks of ore into smaller pieces...
