AUTODYN and Workbench

Explicit Dynamics (ANSYS) in

Workbench
• Setup and solution for non-linear dynamic analyses of structures
– Solids, Shells, Beams
– Large deformation
– Impact
– Penetration
– Fragmentation

• Typical Applications
– Drop Test
– Projectile Impact
– Aircraft Impact
– Bird Strike
– Sporting Goods design
ANSYS AUTODYN
 Explicit Dynamics (ANSYS) and
Link to AUTODYN to
AUTODYN
– Use Euler solvers
• Fluid-structure interaction (FSI)
• Air blast
– Use Mesh-free (SPH) solver
• Hyper-velocity impact (HVI)
• Failure
– Use Additional Material Models
• Non-linear composites
• Explosives
– Run 2D simulations

• Solve in AUTODYN
– Analyze a pre-stressed geometry
• Pre-stress in Static Structural (ANSYS) (Implicit)
• Solve in AUTODYN (Explicit)
