Crash and impact analysis

Explicit dynamic transient or implicit static nonlinear finite element analysis of structures to determine:

• Nonlinear material response (plasticity/concrete cracking)
• Motion trajectories
• Energy absorption
• Ultimate failure loads

The results from the above finite element analyses can be assessed for various objectives, such as:

• Assessment of containment performance
• Assessment of structural integrity after impact
• Parameter studies and optimisation of designs
