Explicit Dynamics Software
Many real-world engineering situations involve severe loads applied over very brief time intervals. While testing is crucial to analyze these types of loading scenarios, it can be expensive and sometimes economically infeasible to conduct physical tests - you can't build an oil tanker and then run it aground to check for oil spills, for example. Moreover, data from a single physical test can be insufficient and companies cannot afford to conduct several of them for more detailed information.
Explicit Dynamics Software that can simulate the behavior of products from small components to extremely large assemblies to events such as a drop, ballistic impact, severe vibration, or blast, and help optimize your design to withstand it. Built-in multiphysics capabilities including fluid-structure interaction ensure accurate and efficient solutions for a wide range of real-world operating environments.
