ASPHERIX®

Built-In Multiphysics

Many processes require more than the representation of bulk materials – they can involve liquids or gases, magnetism, electricity of the interaction with solids. Aspherix® provides numerous functionalities to equip the models with the required physics!

Magnetic Particles

Magnetic Particles

Application case – magnetic separation of particles. The conveyor belt transports particles into magnetic region – particles with strong dipole are separated (depending on their position within the particle bed).

6-DOF

6-DOF Geometry Motion

The geometry of the rigid body is imported as a surface mesh from an STL file. Mass, center of mass and moments of inertia are specified in the according mesh module. External forces,including particle-wall forces determine the geometry motion.

6-DOF plate motion
This video shows the motion of a plate around a central hinge. The body rotation is determined by the particle-wall forces and by an external torque that acts in opposition to the rotation around the hinge.

One-Way CFD Coupling (Transient)

One-Way CFD Coupling (Transient)

Using 1-way coupled Aspherix®-DEM and CFDEM®coupling simulation with a transient fluid velocity field, we are able to model motion of the chaffer inside a combine harvester. Straw and wheat is inserted as a stream from the top and due to segregation and sieving these are separated. The shape and orientation of the particles determines their drag force.
