Explicit Dynamics

SimuTech Group consulting engineers excel in the field of explicit dynamics and have many years of experience with the best-in-class simulation software product suite: ANSYS® LS-DYNA®, ANSYS® AUTODYN® and ANSYS® STRTM.  Consultants maintain a high level of proficiency with all relevant ANSYS software, and use thorough, physical testing methods to verify their numeric simulation results.

SimuTech Group has worked on a wide variety of projects for various industries ranging from consumer products to nuclear and power industry.  Our explicit dynamics consultants have worked with a broad range of simulation applications, including projects that encompass events occurring during short time durations (ms, µs, ns), applications subject to high deformations, large strains, or fracture, and applications subject to complete material failure.  Our consultants use intensive meshing and timing techniques to achieve maximum accuracy in results ranging from how well a hand-held electronic device will withstand a drop to how badly crashing into a median will damage a truck.
