Simulation Fridays S04E04: When You Need More Than Prototypes: Defense Applications with Ansys LS-DYNA

This session shows how Ansys Optics brings them together into a single multiphysics workflow, simulating IR signatures, sensor behavior, and system-level performance.

When You Need More Than Prototypes: Defense Applications with Ansys LS-DYNA

  • Presented by: Maik Schenke, Business Development Executive, Ansys part of Synopsys
  • Date & Time: Friday, October 24, 2025 – 14:00 CET

From vehicle crashes to explosive blasts, some systems must survive extreme conditions. This session showcases how LS-DYNA enables engineers to simulate complex defense scenarios using a one-model strategy, human-body models, and robustness analysis.

You’ll see how this approach reduces reliance on physical prototypes, enhances safety analysis, and provides insights across multiple mission-critical use cases.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Use a one-model strategy across multiple simulation types
  • Apply simplified damage models and HBM (Human Body Models)
  • Estimate impact of material variance (e.g., sheet thickness)
  • Replace costly prototyping in defense applications

Practical Insight:

LS-DYNA offers unmatched versatility by integrating multiple simulation domains, fluids, structures, particles, within a single license and platform.
