    Which solver would be better for this case : Implicit or Explicit ?

    I am trying to simulate the inflation of an inflatable structure for one of our products. Currently I am using an explicit solver for it (explicit FEA+CFD) . The problem is the inflation time is 4 seconds. The analysis is highly non-linear with surface to surface contacts with outside bodies and...

    Patenting FEA simulation methods/techniques ?

    Hi, I have been asked by my manager to look into patenting the methods/techniques we use for a dynamic simulation of the deployment of our product. I am wondering if this is patentable at all. Any input regarding this is highly appreciated. The closest patent to our situation is this...

    Airbag simulation options

    Hi, I have been using LSDyna and want to see other solvers that can be used by us for checking results and such. What options does Duran have for airbag deployment ? Only ALE ? Or are there particle methods ( CPM not SPH) and control volume approaches as well. Thanks,

    Simple Continuous Beam analysis spreadsheet (free)

    Hi, I had created this spreadsheet a few years back for analyzing continuous beams with any number of supports and loads. Thought I would share this and others can use it/modify it as per your requirement. Should be fairly easy to modify the code as I have written sufficient comments to...
