Ansys LS-DYNA is the industry-leading explicit simulation software used for applications like drop tests, impact and penetration, smashes and crashes, occupant safety, and more.
Simulate the Response of Materials to Short Periods of Severe Loading
Ansys LS-DYNA is the most used explicit simulation program in the world and is capable of simulating the response of materials to short periods of severe loading. Its many elements, contact formulations, material models and other controls can be used to simulate complex models with control over all the details of the problem. Ansys LS-DYNA applications include:
Explosion / Penetration
Bird Strike
Crashworthiness / Airbag Simulations
Fracture
Splashing / Hydroplaning / Sloshing
Incompressible and Compressible Fluids
