ANSYS AUTODYN ANSYS AUTODYN is a uniquely versatile explicit analysis tool for modeling the nonlinear dynamics of solids, fluids, gas and their interaction. Our focus is on providing the most advanced capability in the form of a very robust tool, is further enhanced by our focus on productivity. Users of ANSYS AUTODYN are able to complete simulation projects with significantly less effort, less time and lower total cost. The high productivity is a result of the easy to use, quick to learn intuitive, interactive graphical interface implemented in ANSYS AUTODYN. Additional time and effort savers in problem set-up and analysis are provided by automatic options to define contact, coupling interfaces and minimizing input requirements with the use of safe logical defaults. Additionally with the graphical user interface in the ANSYS Workbench platform, ANSYS AUTODYN offers: Finite element solvers for computational structural dynamics (FE) Finite volume solvers for fast transient Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Mesh free particle solvers for high velocities, large deformation and fragmentation (SPH) Multi-solver coupling for multi-physics solutions including coupling between FE, CFD and SPH A wide suite of material models incorporating constitutive response and coupled thermodynamics Serial and parallel computation on shared and distributed memory systems Access to powerful geometry and meshing tools standard available through the ANSYS Workbench platform Bi-directional connectivity to parametric ANSYS DesignModeler and CAD models
