Dytran
A ship runs aground, a cell phone drops off a table, gasoline sloshes in a gas tank and explodes. These are events that happen very quickly and involve permanent structural damage or the interaction of fluid and structure. You need to design products to hold up, but real world testing may be expensive or impossible. For example, you can’t build a oil tanker and then run it aground to check for oil spills. But you can use Dytran to simulate the behaviour of small to extremely large assemblies in disastrous events, such as a drop, impact, shake, or blast, to examine what might cause a product to fail.
Dytran is an explicit finite element analysis (FEA) solver for analysing complex nonlinear behaviour involving permanent deformation of material properties or the interaction of fluids and structures. Dytran enables you to study the structural integrity of designs to ensure that final products stand a better chance of meeting customer safety, reliability, and regulatory requirements.
Combining simulation technologies
Only a multi-discipline solution offers the most accurate results. Dytran combines structural, material flow, and fluid-structure interaction (FSI) analysis in a single package. Dytran uses a combination of Lagrangian and Eularian solver technology to analyse short-duration transient events that require finer time step to ensure a more accurate solution. You can apply Dytran to problems that have a high degree of material nonlinearity (foam, rubber, and large deformations in metal), large geometry nonlinearity (buckling, crippling, and cracking), and extreme boundary nonlinearity (a structure folding over onto itself.) |
