When simulating events involving short-duration, large-strain, large-deformation, fracture, complete material failure, or structural problems with complex contact interactions, there is an Ansys explicit dynamics solution to meet your needs. Almost no application is too severe to be simulated with a high-quality software tool from Ansys.

Features
Explicit Dynamics
Physical problems involving severe loadings applied in a short period of time, (micro-seconds or milliseconds) are best simulated with explicit dynamics solutions.
Superior CAD Interface and Robust Meshing
Bi-directional connectivity with all CAD systems is further enhanced with robust meshing support that produces a line, surface and solid meshes well suited for explicit analysis. Many problems can take advantage of automatically generated mesh suitable for explicit dynamics.
Auto Contact Detection for Parts
Surfaces are automatically detected and flagged for use with the contact algorithms for the explicit dynamic programs.
Comprehensive Element Technology
Element formulations well suited for all problems are supported in 2-D and 3-D. Advanced element technology that avoids volume and shear locking.
Extensive Library of Material Models
Engineering Data contains an Explicit Library with a comprehensive list of models ideally suited for explicit analysis.
Advanced Numerical Methods for Nonlinear Dynamics
A comprehensive set of solution methods can be combined to most efficiently and accurately solve any problem.
Advanced Post-Processing
An automatic report generation capability further reduces the effort required to review, present and report the results of simulations with explicit dynamics.
Solution Customization, Open Architecture
The functionality of the products, the material models used, the data that is stored and other features can easily and conveniently be added by the user.
