What is Explicit Dynamics?

Implicit 𝑀𝑥 + 𝐶 𝑥 + 𝐾𝑥 = 𝐹(𝑡)
• Invert the stiffness matrix to solve for x
• Requires iterative solution, and may not converge

Explicit 𝐹 = 𝑀𝑥
• Solve for ẍ, uncoupled equations, no iterations or convergence
• Stable if Dt < L/C where, L=smallest element length
C=speed of sound

Explicit Dynamics in ANSYS?
ANSYS Explicit
• General purpose code
• Run in Workbench
• Basic FSI capability
AUTODYN
• Advanced version of ANSYS Explicit
• Available as a workbench system but runs in a separate interface
• Developed for ballistics and explosives
• ALE, Euler, SPH and FSI capabilities
LS-DYNA
• General Purpose code
• Implicit, ALE, Euler, SPH, CFD, FSI and EM
• Extensive list of material models, and specialised elements

DROP-TEST SIMULATIONS
• Explicit dynamics is the ideal tool for the job
• Set-up is easy, with energy used to calculate the impact
velocity, and the assembly positioned the split second
before impact
• The LS-DYNA ACT provides the perfect combination of
the speed and versatility of DYNA and the meshing
capabilities, set-up tools and user-friendliness of ANSYS
Workbench
