Crash, Impact and Occupant Safety
Getting started with PAM-CRASH 2G Implicit
Reference: CRS-I-B

Level: Basic
Duration: 1-2 days (see local schedule for details)
Audience: CAE engineers, designers and specialists in structural crash.
Objectives: Learn to perform basic linear and non linear static analysis and modal dynamic analysis using PAM-CRASH 2G Implicit.
Prerequisites: Course: Getting started with PAM-CRASH 2G (CRS-C-B) or equivalent experience .
Description: This course is an introduction to the implicit method and to the PAM-CRASH solver. Participants learn to model in a simple manner static penetration tests, breaking and closing a vehicle door or the static load of vehicle parts (e.g. hood, backrest, beverage owner) and to carry out modal analyses of the Body in White (BIW). A global overview of the capabilities of the code, illustrated by industrial applications, is presented.
Course content:
  • Theory of the implicit solver (linear, nonlinear analysis, modal analysis, harmonic analysis
  • Elements Formulations
  • Modeling Methods with implicit:
    • Supported materials
    • Mesh independant spotweld
    • Joints
    • Boundary conditions, external loadings
    • Coupling of degrees of freedom (MTOCO)
    • Chaining explicit and implicit runs
  • Natural frequency analysis:
    • Single block Lanczos solution
  • Linear static analysis:
    • Stress analysis
  • Non linear static analysis
    • Large displacement non linear solution
    • Material non linear solution
    • Implicit contact treatment
  • Harmonic analysis
  • Recommendations for using implicit or explicit methods

Demonstrations and practical exercises throughout the course, using Visual-Environment.
