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

Factors Influencing Calculation Times For Implicit Solutions
For Explicit Solution
• model size (number of DOF)
• size of the critical time step
• size respectively grade of nonlinearity • number of time steps to simulate
‐ 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

Extend the Range of Structural Problems • Drop test simulations –
(short time dynamic range, high frequencies)
• Problems including complex contact situations –
(large geometrical nonlinearities)
• Problems including sophisticated material damage and failure –
(large nonlinearities, element erosion)
• Load limit analyses –
(large deformations, large nonlinearities)
• Manufacturing simulations –
(large deformations, large nonlinearities)
• High‐speed Dynamic analyses –

Productivity Further Enhanced with R14 • Painless problem setup – Complex geometries easier to mesh with TET elements • New NBS TET avoids shear locking
• Fast solutions using 2‐D • Insight into part interactions – Reaction force trackers implemented
• Generalized Shell – Discrete element, variable thickness shells – Import Polyflow and other forming simulation results
• Direct Access to results for convenient analysis and processing • Composites – Layered composites (shells)

Painless problem setup New Tetrahedral Element Nodal Based Strain (NBS) formulation • Overcomes both volume and shear locking • Particularly valuable in low velocity applications involving complex geometry (consumer drops like mobile phones, nuclear equipment drops) – Low deformations and bending dominates problems – Isotropic elasticity, plasticity including failure – Testing has shown that an Hourglass coefficient (Puso factor) of 0.1 should be used
• No longer Beta in Release 14
