Getting Started with Vuforia Studio to author Augmented Reality experiences

    This article will help you to learn the ropes of using Vuforia Studio, the powerful and easy-to-use augmented reality (AR) authoring tool developed by PTC and supported by LEAP Australia.

    There’s never been a better time to dive into making your own AR experiences, whether to showcase new products, improve employee training & efficiency, or to impress potential customers with amazing, interactive AR content.

    Tutorials cover everything from the Vuforia workflow and getting started, to tracking using ThingMarks, spatial targets, images, models and more!

    Guest Blog: Team Lunar Rockets to F1 in Schools World Finals with Simulation and 3D Rendering

      This guest blog from Team Lunar, a Melbourne-based team made up of 6 Brighton Grammar School students participating the F1 in Schools competition explains how their usage of Ansys simulation and Keyshot 3D rendering has helped them get ahead of the pack.

      With a track record of success dating back to 2022, Lunar has amassed over 30 category awards combined, establishing themselves as decorated, formidable competitors at both State and National competitions, now representing Australia at the World Finals later this year.

      Advanced Features of Ansys Rocky DEM for Next-Level Simulation

        This article provides a dive deep into the cutting-edge capabilities of Ansys Rocky DEM, showcasing how advanced features like OptiSLang integration, robust API capabilities, and Multi-GPU acceleration can transform your simulation experience.

        Whether you’re tackling complex particle interactions or optimising your designs, the aim of this article is to equip you with the tools to elevate your projects and drive innovation.

        Rocky DEM for Transfer Chutes, Conveyors and Bulk Materials Handling

          LEAP recently ran a webinar that explored how Rocky DEM is helping engineers and equipment designers around Australia to easily troubleshoot existing issues and optimise their designs to avoid chute blockages due to wet/cohesive materials, improve longevity of wear liners and better configure chute flow to reduce belt misalignment and tracking issues.

          This article summarises this presentation and includes video highlights including demonstrations of how Rocky DEM simulations help designers assess the overall performance of bulk materials handling systems.

          Satellite Design with Digital Mission Engineering: Part 2 – Constellation Coverage Analysis

            In part one of this satellite design series, we explored the modelling of a physics accurate RF Comms link between ground facility and LEO satellite. However, rarely do modern LEO satellites work in isolation. Instead, they work as part of a larger constellation, continuously exchanging data to fulfil their intended mission. Part two of this series explores the design of a larger LEO constellation and how Ansys STK allows for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of user-specified regions of interest to discern how effective a given constellation will be.

            Satellite Design with Digital Mission Engineering: Part 1 – RF Comms Link

              This is the first instalment in our 3-part DME Series that will explore the design of a LEO satellite constellation, exploring the implementation of Ansys STK to tackle common design challenges, including the design of a reliable RF communication link, the evaluation of LEO constellations for specific coverage metrics, and the conjunction analysis of the proposed constellation to ensure satellite survivability.

              GUEST BLOG – Navigating the Future: LEO-PNT Systems Improve Satellite Orbits

                In the world of satellites, there’s a new game-changer: Low Earth Orbit (LEO) constellations joining hands with Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). What does this mean for us? In this guest blog, Dr. Amir Allahvirdizadeh, Research Fellow at Curtin University explains how LEO-PNT systems help solve numerous challenges when operating in critical environments, ensuring greater reliability and precision than ever before.

                Rocky DEM for Heavy Equipment Design

                  For engineers working in heavy equipment design, the ability to analyse and predict the behaviours and responses of structures in varying operating conditions is critical to ensure both safety and optimal equipment performance. At LEAP, our decades of experience with DEM has put us in the perfect position to help our customers to implement Ansys Rocky DEM, coupled with Multi-Body Dynamics (MBD) and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) solvers. This article explores the various ways that Ansys Rocky can be combined with other tools within the Ansys product portfolio, to deliver higher fidelity simulations – with a focus on the heavy equipment industry.
