5 What is ANSYS Explicit Dynamics Explicit Dynamics, (like Structural Dynamics) models the response of structures: from quasi static to severe loadings Applications in: Manufacturing, Consumer Products, Aerospace, Defense, Heavy Equipment, Oil and Gas, Turbo machinery, ANSYS Edge: User Productivity, Ease of Use, Seamless CAD to Solution Environment (ANSYS Workbench) Used by small and large organization world wide, over 800 ANSYS Explicit Dynamics customers. Used to design products, protect products, improve processes 5/32

6 Solution Methods Compared Explicit Solution (Explicit Dynamics) Time is an independent variable that is "explicitly" advanced according to a stability criteria limited by the speed of shock waves in the smallest element Local Response From shock waves created by impact or other loadings Resulting in deformation and material failure Implicit Solution (Structural Dynamics, aka Mechanical) Time is not an independent variable and is "implicitly" advanced according to convergence criteria State variables being computed are not time dependent Collection of equations represent the relationship of all elements in the problem Equations solved implicitly with advanced matrix solutions Global Response From loads applied mostly uniformly to the whole system. 6/32

7 Factors Influencing Calculation Times For Implicit Solutions model size (number of DOF) size respectively grade of nonlinearity number of time steps to simulate For Explicit Solution size of the critical time step characteristic element length sound of speed in materials (Young s moduli & density) model size (number of elements) Length of the physical time to be simulated 7/32

8 New Uses of Explicit Solver No convergence problems in highly nonlinear problems No equilibrium iteration needed Material failure and erosion easy to model High frequencies are naturally resolved because of small time steps Implicit explicit switching capability for efficiency Suited to a wide range of complex nonlinear problems 8/32
