Simulate Real-Scale Experiments
Rocky DEM’s high-performance computing (HPC) abilities can simulate a large number of real-sized and real-shaped particles faster and with less memory usage.
Particle simulation
where shapes do matter
Model Realistic Materials
Modify a default shape, scan a real 3D object, or custom design your own shape and import it. Then define the behavior to be rigid or flexible, sticky or dry, breakable and more.
Solve Unique Problems
Rocky DEM’s representation of application-specific particle shapes is becoming essential to the successful engineering of bulk materials handling equipment.

As our R&D colleagues commissioned more and more DEM simulation over the past few years, we needed to look for new, powerful and easy-to-use software. To help us react more quickly to these needs and work more efficiently, we chose Rocky DEM, a software with comprehensive functionality as well as a mature and proven user interface.”

ROCKY DEM is helping us to improve various processes. The use of simulation tools can quantify the design improvements and gains; this is advantageous because mining uses large equipment that without computer simulation can cost millions for prototype development and testing. Accurate simulation results can advocate for necessary changes and updates, with the assurance of a return on investment.”

"The highlight of the Rocky DEM software is certainly its speed and realistic particle shapes. For us, being able to simulate the exact number of particles in the exact same size distributions and shape representations that we have in our experimental studies is the primary benefit to using Rocky DEM.”
