Explicit Dynamics

The Explicit Dynamics system can perform a variety of engineering simulations, including the modeling of nonlinear dynamic behavior of solids, fluids, gases and their interaction.

This analysis is configured in Ansys Mechanical.

To work through an Explicit Dynamics system:

  1. To add an Explicit Dynamics analysis system, drag the system from the Toolbox to the Project Schematic or double-click the system in the Toolbox.

  2. To load the geometry, right-click the Geometry cell and select Import Geometry from the context menu.

  3. To open the Mechanical application, right-click the Setup cell and select Edit from the context menu or double-click the Setup cell.

  4. In the Mechanical application window, complete your analysis using the application's tools and features.

    See the Explicit Dynamics Analysis Guide for more information on conducting this analysis.
