Numerical Analysis
NUMERICS offers a variety of analysis services for engineering tasks, where the focus lies in applications for defense and protective structures investigations like:
- Detonation, explosion, combustion
- Warhead mechanics
- Free field and internal blast propagation
- Terminal ballistics
- Strength analysis, structural deformation and failure
- Protection of structures and vehicles
For our simulations we use
- AUTODYN®
– an explicit FE-Code (hydrocode)
mainly used for detonation processes, structural deformation and strength analysis.
AUTODYN is developed by ANSYS-AUTODYN
Examples - LS-DYNA®
– an explicit FE-Code (hydrocode)
mainly used for crash, metalforming, or impact simulations.
LS-DYNA is developed by LSTC – Livermore Software Technology Cooperation
Examples - SPEED – an explicit FE-Code
(hydrocode)
mainly used for detonation and combustion processes, blast propagation, shaped charge jet formation, and terminal ballistics.
SPEED is developed by NUMERICS GmbH
Examples
With our numerical analyses we support our clients in optimizing test layouts and understanding test results, in product optimization and structural design as well as by scientific investigations of physical phenomena.
Additionally, we support our customers' own Autodyn® and LS-Dyna® simulations by the development and implementation of:
- equations-of-State, strength and damage models for the
simulation of special materials or explosives,
- combustion models and
- individually tailored analysis options.
