ANSYS Explicit Dynamics Tutorial: Car Crash Simulation

Welcome back to another ANSYS tutorial! Today we will be going through the steps of setting up a car crash simulation using the explicit dynamics module in ANSYS.

In this tutorial, you will learn:

✔️ How to select materials for the simulation
✔️ The type of geometry that is used to save on computational power
✔️ How to check mesh quality
✔️ How to setup the necessary boundary conditions
✔️ And more!

Once going to steps of setting up and understanding the car crash simulation in ANSYS, you will be able to replicate it with any 2 bodies hitting each other.

Leave a comment if you would be interested in a video tutorial of how to build the geometry for this simulation.

Thank you for watching! Hope you enjoyed!
