This technical session covers how to perform ROPS (Roll-Over Protective Structures) and FOPS (Falling-Object Protective Structures) analysis using Ansys Mechanical and LS-DYNA in the Ansys Workbench environment, tailored for the mining industry. Following the guidelines of ISO 3471, ISO 3463, ISO 3449, and ISO 8083, we demonstrate static and dynamic simulation approaches for rollover and falling-object scenarios. Gain practical tips for model setup, material definition, load application, and post-processing to ensure operator safety and regulatory compliance. Whether for surface or underground mining equipment, this video provides the tools to run effective, standards-based FEA.
