ANSYS AUTODYN

ANSYS AUTODYN software is a versatile explicit analysis tool for modeling the nonlinear dynamics of solids, fluids, gases and their interactions. The product has been developed to provide advanced capabilities within a robust, easy-to-use software tool. Simulation projects can be completed with significantly less effort, less time and lower labor costs than with other explicit programs. This high productivity is a result of the easy-to-use, quick-to-learn, intuitive, interactive graphical interface implemented. Time and effort are saved in problem setup and analysis by automatic options to define contact, by coupling interfaces and by minimizing input requirements using safe logical defaults.

The solver technology in ANSYS AUTODYN provides:

• Finite element solvers for computational structural dynamics (FE)
• Finite volume solvers for fast transient computational fluid dynamics (CFD)
• Mesh-free particle solvers for high velocities, large deformation and fragmentation (SPH)
• Multisolver coupling for multiphysics solutions including coupling between FE, CFD and SPH
• A wide suite of material models incorporating constitutive response and coupled thermodynamics
• Serial and parallel computation on shared and distributed memory systems

The ANSYS Workbench platform provides a fully integrated environment for efficient Simulation Driven Product Development with:

• Bidirectional CAD connectivity
• Automatic mesh generation using criteria appropriate for explicit simulations
• Automatic contact surface detection
• Parameter-driven optimization
• Comprehensive report generation capability for each simulation
• Geometry creation, modification and cleanup using the ANSYS DesignModeler tool
