01 / CAPABILITYImpact & Crashworthiness
Study structural response to high-rate impact and crash loading using appropriate model and material data.
Siemens Digital Industries Software
Investigate impact, crash and highly dynamic structural events.
Simcenter Radioss is an explicit finite element solver for highly nonlinear transient events. It is used for demanding dynamic simulations such as impact, crashworthiness, drop tests, forming and other short-duration events where large deformation or complex contact may occur.

Simcenter Radioss FAQs
Answers to common questions from engineering teams evaluating simulation software.
What is Simcenter Radioss used for?
It is used for explicit dynamic simulation of highly nonlinear transient events such as impact, crash and drop scenarios.
How is explicit dynamics different from static analysis?
Explicit dynamics is suited to short-duration events with strong inertial and contact effects; static analysis addresses equilibrium under static or quasi-static assumptions.
Does crash analysis need test correlation?
For safety-critical decisions, correlation with appropriate test data and careful model validation are strongly recommended.
Can it model material failure?
Supported failure and damage models may be used when appropriate material data, calibration and configuration are available.
