HyperWorks for explosive simulation


RADIOSS gives the fastest and most reliable impact analysis results, helping engineers to quickly conduct to assure proper product functioning:

  • Impact simulations with or without perforation
  • Terminal ballistic analysis
  • Detonic, system design & effects


Radioss features include:
  • Modeling: all the needed elements, connectors, interfaces are available
  • Material laws: the main material laws are available including explosive models
  • Loadings & boundary conditions: terminal ballistic and explosion conditions are covered also
  • Explosion modeling:
    • Explosion
    • Blast effects
    • Shock wave propagation
    • Debris effects

  • Advanced numerical schemes from lagrangian to eulerian including meshless methods (SPH, XFEM), large material law and rupture criteria libraries and robust contact algorithms facilitate impact analysis of complex military designs.
