Dytran is a general-purpose, three-dimensional explicit finite element analysis (FEA) software program for simulating and analyzing complex, short-duration events involving severe deformation of structural materials and the interaction of fluids and structures.

Dytran providesthe most comprehensive and robust solution available to simulate impact, crush, penetration, explosion, and other fluid-structure interaction (FSI) applications. A broad range of material models and element types enable users to perform VPD experiments and “what-if” analyses on design concepts before building and testing costly physical prototypes.

Accurate, Robust Analysis for Diverse Applications

Dytran’s accuracy has been proven through correlation with physical experiments. Dytran helps
engineers predict how a prototype would respond to a variety of real-world dynamic events and
to examine potential causes for product failure. Some examples include:

- Aerospace Applications: Aircraft ditching, fuel tank sloshing and rupture, bird strike simulation, engine blade containment, aircraft crashworthiness, seat design and safety, aircraft and cargo containment hardening.
- Automotive Applications: Airbag design and occupant safety (out of position studies), dummy modeling and seat design, vehicle impact and crash testing, tire hydroplaning, fuel tank sloshing and rupture.
- Military and Defense Applications: Shaped charge simulation and weapons design, projectile penetration and perforation of targets, hydrodynamic ram (HRAM), ship collision, underwater shock explosion (UNDEX), blast resistance and survivability.
- Other Industrial Applications: Bottle and container
