Hey Alexvader2,

How does it compare with Abaqus and Ansys?
Have you tried it for composite material modeling?

Thanks

Hi Continuum,

It can model composite materials allright, the gereric model is orthotropic multilayered with ply orientation determined by local coordinate system.

It will solve either static or dynamic or eigenvalue (vibration eigen modes/ colapse analysis ) problems using linear, piecewise bilinear or multilinear material formulations .

I am not yet that familiar with Abaqus or Ansys to compare them...

Do you know if abaqus or Ansys will model detonations in energetic materials ( Lee-Tarver, JWL, Ignition and Growth or polynomial constitutive laws ) and shock wave propagation in inert materials...?

best regards

Alex

Hello,

I see that you are active already. Thanks for you inputs.
I know that Abaqus Explicit can model impacts and such. I am not familiar with that part.
See the Abaqus documentation
