Description

Ansys LS-DYNA stands out as the leading explicit simulation software widely utilized for various applications, including drop testing, impact analysis, penetration scenarios, collisions, and ensuring occupant safety. Renowned as the most extensively used explicit simulation tool globally, Ansys LS-DYNA excels in modeling the behavior of materials subjected to brief yet intense loading conditions. Its comprehensive suite of elements, contact formulations, and material models enables the simulation of intricate models while allowing precise control over every aspect of the issue at hand. The software offers a broad range of analyses, boasting rapid and effective parallel processing capabilities. Engineers can investigate simulations that involve material failure, examining how such failures evolve through components or entire systems. Additionally, LS-DYNA adeptly manages models with numerous interacting parts or surfaces, ensuring that the interactions and load transfers between complex behaviors are accurately represented. This capability makes LS-DYNA an invaluable tool for engineers facing multifaceted simulation challenges.

Description

Patran offers an extensive array of tools designed to facilitate the development of models ready for analysis across various domains, including linear and nonlinear problems, explicit dynamics, thermal analysis, and more within finite element solutions.
