The goal of this case study with Aspherix® and CFDEM®coupling was the optimization of a mower deck with respect to ths cut quality. Since the design contains blades with intersection trajectories it was not possible to use sliding meshes. An immersed boundary approach, especially designed for mower deck applications was used. The simulation results matched experimental data and it was possible to compare different geometry setups and boundary conditions and optimize them.
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.

Rolling wheel on grass
In this video, the grass leaves, modelled as fibers, are bended by a rotating wheel. After being bent, the fibers tend to move to their original configuration due to the interparticle forces.
