Realize Your Product Promise™ Explicit Dynamics

“ANSYS explicit dynamics repeatedly enables us to solve complex explicit problems for our customers. We can get answers to them quickly due to the program’s ease of use. The stateof-the-art solution methods and extensive material models produce accurate results, a necessity for creating follow-on business.” Chris LeBoeuf Principal Engineer ABS Consulting ANSYS explicit dynamics takes over when implicit isn’t enough. For specialized applications, ANSYS offers the split-second insight you need along with ease of use and trusted results. Sheffield Hallam University used our explicit solution...

“The ability to couple Eulerian and Lagrangian frames of reference is especially helpful in blast field modeling. With ANSYS explicit dynamics, energy is easily transferred between the two for accurate modeling of the entire blast process.” Dale Preece Global Technology Development Orica USA Inc. Almost any severe application can benefit from the embedded deep physics in our explicit suite. For example, the FE (Lagrange) solver is the most commonly used and the computationally fastest method to represent structures. It is best suited for tracking shock waves and peak pressures. Within each...

Sports equipment design using composite materials A critical requirement for efficient and accurate explicit analysis is a high-quality mesh. Our explicit products benefit from integration in the ANSYS Workbench environment, which includes powerful automatic mesh generation. You can create high-quality hex (brick) elements for more complex geometries using multi-zone meshing, a standard tool within Workbench that automatically decomposes more complex geometries into parts that can be swept to create hex elements. Additional complexities with material response are enhanced with tools that...

Courtesy ESSS and Eletronuclear S.A. Our single resource offers clarity and insight into your advanced technology needs. Eletronuclear S.A. used ANSYS explicit dynamics tools to simulate a hypothetical explosion near a nuclear power plant. The initial stage was simulated with the multimaterial fluid (Euler) solver, as different types of materials can all be modeled in the same region. The Euler FCT solver came into play after the explosion, as it simulates the response of ideal gases with second-order accuracy very quickly. ANSYS explicit dynamics tools are one part of our suite that...
